I keep hearing about xeriscape. How does lawn area fit in to this landscape method?
A Remember, xeriscape is a foundation of mostly sound horticultural techniques to save water. Only one tenant of the xeriscape techniques discusses the use of “practical turfgrass.” In most cases lawn areas are the most practical areas of the landscape. No other landscape areas are generally used to the degree as the lawn areas. Andthe more pets and more children within the household,the more practical the lawn area will become. Most importantly though, with proper ground preparation and maintenance the lawn areawill be a very water concious piece of a water-wise landscape.
