 WHAT IS XERISCAPE LANDSCAPING?

Xeriscape landscaping Calgary— or, xeriscaping — is a style of landscaping that requires no irrigation and virtually no maintenance

The word xeriscape is a combination of landscape and the Greek prefix xero-, meaning ‘dry,’ so a xeriscape is a dry landscape. Because xeriscaping Calgary eliminates the task of watering plants or being reliant on rain, it is also referred to as ‘water-conserving landscaping,’ ‘drought-tolerant landscaping,’ and ‘smart scaping.’

How to Create a Beautiful and Inviting Xeriscape Garden


One of the principles of xeriscape landscaping revolves around appropriate plant selection. While many plants require fairly regular watering, the plants used in xeriscaping are hearty and thrive in dry climates. Many of these plants are native — ones originating in this particular region and are optimally suited to this climate — while the others are adapted  — ones that have been cultivated and bred specifically to tolerate little to no water.

 

By selecting native and adapted plants for your xeriscape design Calgary, you can enjoy beautiful flowering plants, shrubs, and trees year ’round without draining your pocketbook or our local water reserves. Typically, native and adapted plants, once established, require less water. Even during our hottest summers, these plants will continue to thrive and bloom.
