Xeriscape designed for
Colorado's beautiful future

Xeriscape isn't about rocks and gravel — it's about designing a landscape that thrives with Colorado's natural rainfall patterns while looking beautiful year-round. A well-designed xeriscape features wildflowers, ornamental grasses, native shrubs and perennials that provide color, texture and interest through every season.

Colorado Native Landscapes & Design has been designing and installing xeriscapes across the Front Range for over 25 years. Janice's CSU degree in landscape design means every plant selection is made with deep knowledge of how it will perform in your specific microclimate — your soil type, your sun exposure, your elevation.

Many Front Range municipalities offer water conservation rebates for xeriscape installations — and we're familiar with programs like Resource Central's Garden In A Box and various utility rebate programs. We help you take advantage of available incentives as part of your project.

Up to 60% water savingsA properly designed xeriscape uses dramatically less water than a traditional lawn — often qualifying for municipal water conservation rebates.

More beautiful every yearAs xeriscape plants establish and fill in, your landscape becomes more beautiful each season — the opposite of a struggling lawn.

Common questions
Frequently asked
questions
Is xeriscape ugly? I've seen some really bad rock-and-gravel yards.
That's a common misconception. Poorly designed 'rock and gravel' yards are not xeriscape — they're lazy landscaping. True xeriscape features beautiful plant combinations, natural boulder accents, ornamental grasses and wildflowers that look stunning through every season. Our xeriscape designs are consistently the most beautiful yards in the neighborhood.
How long until my xeriscape looks established?
Most xeriscape plants establish within 1-2 growing seasons. During that first year, some supplemental watering helps plants get established. After that, Colorado's natural rainfall is typically sufficient. The landscape continues to fill in and improve each year — becoming more beautiful over time, not less.
