Why Xeriscaping Is a Smart Choice for Albuquerque Yards

Water is precious in the high desert, and traditional lawns are thirsty and high-maintenance. Xeriscaping - landscaping designed for dry climates - is one of the best upgrades an Albuquerque homeowner can make.

The benefits:
- Lower water bills - Drought-tolerant plants and gravel dramatically cut irrigation needs.
- Less maintenance - No weekly mowing; native plants largely take care of themselves.
- Year-round curb appeal - Stone, gravel, boulders and native plants look great in every season.
- Better for the environment - Supports pollinators and reduces water waste.

What a great xeriscape includes:
- A thoughtful design with zones and pathways.
- Drought-tolerant and native plantings.
- Decorative gravel, rock and boulders.
- Efficient drip irrigation for the plants that need it.
