Xeriscaping Makes Sense for Our Colorado Climate
Xeriscaping is a smart, ecologically sound, and sustainable approach to landscaping. With conscious watering practices and a plant selection fit for our region, your Xeriscape will not only have maximum curb appeal, but it can also increase your property value! Now, that’s worth investing in! “Xeriscape” is a Colorado coined term that stems from the Greek word “xeros”, meaning dry. Although no water is a bit of a stretch, Xeriscaping is a way to save water, time, and money with Colorado’s unique soil conditions and semi-arid climate. Stone & Flower uses the latest technology to make the most of your water. We install low-water usage irrigation, including drip systems, rain sensors, & micro sprays that allow you to add flowers, shrubs, and trees to your Xeriscape areas. Our Xeriscape specialists follow the Seven Principles of Xeriscape Design and add a personal touch to provide you with a beautiful water-wise property.
