Xeriscaping.com exists to prove a simple point: a low-water yard can be the best-looking one on the block.
Too many people still hear "xeriscaping" and picture bare gravel and a lonely cactus. We're here to change that. A real xeriscape is full of color, texture, and life — it just works with your local climate instead of fighting it. The payoff is a landscape that needs less water, less maintenance, and fewer chemicals, while giving back more beauty and habitat.
What we do
We publish clear, practical guidance for homeowners and gardeners who want to save water without sacrificing style:
- Guides that walk you step by step, from your first sketch to the final layer of mulch.
- Plant know-how grounded in your USDA hardiness zone, so what you plant actually survives.
- Ideas and inspiration to prove low-water never means low-interest.
No jargon, no gatekeeping — just the stuff that helps you build a yard you'll love and a water bill you won't dread.
Why it matters
Outdoor watering is the largest single use of household water across much of the country, and in many regions the climate is getting hotter and drier. Xeriscaping — a term coined in Colorado in 1981 — is one of the most effective, achievable ways for ordinary households to cut water use, build resilience against drought, and support the pollinators and wildlife that healthy, climate-appropriate landscapes bring back.
Who we are
Xeriscaping.com is operated by Xeriscaping.com LLC, a Colorado company. We're based in the arid West, where low-water landscaping isn't a trend — it's how you garden well. Our mission is to make that knowledge easy to find and easy to use, no matter your zone.
