Some of you might know what a Xeriscaping is, while others, especially the amateur gardeners, may be hearing it for the first time. For starters, this method is one of the best measures you need to opt for in order to have a drought-tolerant landscape.
NOW, WHAT IS A XERISCAPING?
Xeroscape has been derived from the Latin words – ‘xerox meaning dry and ‘scape’ meaning landscape. So, the literal meaning of the word is ‘dry landscape. In the year 1980, Xeriscaping rose in popularity in the West of the United States. This is because people were increasingly searching for ways to construct drought-tolerant lawns.
It is a landscaping technique designed to reduce the irrigation needed for maintaining a landscape. In this process, you set up plants that adapt to the surroundings rather than establishing lawns or plantings that consume a lot of water. If Xeriscaping is maintained in the correct way, it will, without a doubt, use up lesser water than most traditional landscapes do. Furthermore, once you establish it, you do not need to maintain it regularly, and it will undoubtedly save you a lot of time.

THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING XERISCAPE
With the introduction of Xeriscaping, there has been a lesser amount of lawns in landscapes. By applying the ‘Rule of Thirds’ concept to your garden, view it from your streets or your house. You can lessen the grass-covered garden and turn it into a small one-third line, noticeable enough from both directions. This way, you can have the greens you expect on a lawn. Layer the rest of the Xeriscape with drought-tolerant plants. You can even add a garden bed, building it above the ground level. Keep in mind that it needs to be equipped with proper watering systems.
Furthermore, there is always the option to install artificial lawns. Modern grass that is made to look natural can be used for that particular line of grass. Not only are they clean and sustainable, but they also do not require much maintenance. All in all, incorporating Xeriscaping for drought-tolerant lawns has different solutions for different settings.
