Xeriscape Plans
Beyond the rock garden
Xeriscape landscaping plants are perfect plants for the dry Southern California. Xeriscape plants provide exciting visual interest with their multitude of colors, sizes, and shapes year round. Seasonal blooms are simply an added bonus. Nurtured Vistas can design the plantings to provide a visual interaction by planting in zones. Those plants with higher water needs are planted closer to the water source.
All about the water
Xeriscape landscaping promotes water conservation. We use materials that retain water and reduce runoff. Our drip irrigation systems can reduce your water use up to 60 percent. Many native plant choices can restore soil nutrients and attract beneficial insects. We use natural plantings to stablize slopes, add our own on-site mulch to plant bases, and install drought-tolerant species.
Trees
When xeriscape is mentioned, trees are not often considered. Did you know that trees can reduce your home's heating and cooling costs? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, leafy trees planted along the south sides of buildings can reduce air conditioning costs by up to 20 percent. In the winter, these trees allow the sun through to warm the building. Also trees planted as a wind block can reduce heating bills. Trees planted with a proper irrigation system can be a sustainable and economically viable option.
