Dry Landscaping - Both Attractive and Economical
In the hot and dry Southwestern United States, landscaping takes
on an entire different significance than in other regions. As
water is so precious here, conservation is a major concern of
both home owners and city officials. But desert home owners
don't have to sacrifice beauty because of the lack of water. Dry
landscaping is an excellent way to make a landscape unusual and
eye-catching, while using minimum water resources.
Natural rocks and stone are perfect ways to make a home's
landscape blend into the native environment. Rocks bring out the
beauty and diversity of nature. Natural rocks can be obtained in
many different sizes, shapes, and even colors. From black lava
rock, to gray granite, to white limestone, your choice won't be
an easy one.
One of the wonderful things about enhancing your landscaping
with natural rocks is the fact that real stones are absolutely
solid and will never wither and fade like plants. They will
always stay bright and vibrant. Rock gardens really can be
breathtaking when done the right way.
Drought-resistant plants compliment dry rock landscaping well.
The native southwestern plants are generally sun-loving and
water-wise. Careful research will reveal low maintenance and low
water use plants perfect for this type of landscape. Many of the
cactus varieties are good choices, as are juniper, lamb's ear,
and other perennial plants that can withstand year
after year
with little water.
Large areas of turf aren't very viable for water conservation in
the southwest. There are certain grass varieties that need large
quantities of water to survive in heat. However, do your
research and if you do desire a lawn area, choose one of the
drought-tolerant grass species.
One cost-effective method of landscaping extensive can be to
spread a layer of decorative crushed rock areas making it look
finished and maintained. Some ornamental gravel types can be
very beautiful, displaying mixed colors of yellow, purple, red,
and white.
The fact of the matter is, even in hot and dry desert-like
areas, landscapes can still be designed to be attractive yet
conservative. And often a lush garden can hardly compare to the
charm and creativity found in dry landscaping.
