Outdoor sprinklers can account for 40 percent of household water use during the summer. With simple, sustainable Xeriscape landscaping, our customers can reduce outdoor water usage by up to 50 percent.
 

In Greek, “xeros” means “dry,” and a xeriscape garden requires much less water than a traditional one to stay healthy and beautiful. Select drought-tolerant plants and using water- wise gardening techniques to:

  • Reduce your outdoor water use
  • Create a colorful, natural garden
  • Spend less time on garden maintenance

Visit your local garden center to find native and drought-tolerant plants for your area. Visit the EPA Water Sense website https://www3.epa.gov/watersense/outdoor/what_to_plant.html for more tips on water-efficient landscaping.
