Hiner Outdoor Living designed and installed our new yard in Monument, Colorado, at 7500 ft elevation. Our concerns about what plants will grow at this elevation and following the HOA requirements were handled wonderfully by Matt Hiner and his team. Sherry MacWilliam did an expert landscape design, which included plant selection. Now in our 2nd year and the yard looks wonderful.

Embrace the art of xeriscaping, a revolutionary approach to landscaping that harmonizes with nature while conserving one of its most precious resources: water.

In an era where sustainability is key, xeriscaping offers you an eco-friendly solution to create a stunning outdoor space that thrives even in water-scarce conditions.

Xeriscaping revolves around the concept of water-efficient landscaping. This method involves selecting drought-resistant plantings, typically native to our region, which are well-adapted to thrive in local climate conditions with minimal water requirements. Imagine your landscape filled with vibrant native blooms, succulents, and ornamental grasses, each contributing to a lush landscape that demands remarkably little in terms of irrigation.

One of the primary benefits of xeriscaping is its low-maintenance nature. Choosing plantings that are naturally suited to dry conditions reduces the need for constant watering, pruning, and fertilizing. This saves time and effort and significantly cuts down on water usage, aligning with environmentally conscious landscaping practices.

Soil improvement and mulching are key components of xeriscaping. Enhancing the soil with organic matter and covering it with mulch helps retain moisture, reducing evaporation and minimizing the need for watering. This technique also suppresses weed growth, maintaining a neat and tidy appearance in your landscape.

Another aspect of xeriscaping is the strategic design and planning of your landscape.

This includes creating hydrozones, where plantings with similar water needs are grouped together, optimizing water usage. Using elements like rock, gravel, and pavers adds aesthetic appeal while reducing the area that requires irrigation.

The visual appeal of a xeriscaped landscape is undeniable. With various textures, colors, and forms, these landscapes offer a unique and striking aesthetic. Whether you’re aiming for a desert-inspired look or a more lush, wildflower landscape, xeriscaping provides ample room for creativity and personal expression.

Xeriscaping is not just about planting selection; it's a holistic approach to sustainable landscaping. It incorporates efficient irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation, which delivers water directly to the roots of the plantings, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.

Xeriscaping can contribute to a healthier outdoor environment. By reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, you create a pleasing, more natural space for you, your family, and local wildlife to enjoy.
