What xeriscaping includes (and what it doesn’t)

A real xeriscape is designed: edges, planting zones, rock depth, and irrigation that supports establishment. It’s not just gravel over weeds.

FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most in Socorro and the East El Paso area.

Is xeriscape always cheaper than grass?

Not always upfront. But it can reduce long-term water and weekly maintenance depending on the design.

Do you include irrigation in xeriscape projects?

We often recommend drip irrigation for plants. It’s one of the biggest factors in plant success.

Will rock landscaping increase weeds?

Proper prep reduces weeds, but no yard is zero-maintenance. Edges and wind-blown seeds still need periodic attention.

Can I phase a xeriscape project?

Yes. Many homeowners start with one side yard or front yard first, then expand later.

What makes a xeriscape look high-end?

Defined edges, consistent rock depth, balanced plant spacing, and thoughtful focal points.
