Xeriscapes are beautiful as well as drought-tolerant. With their variety of colors, textures, and fragrances, they serve as an ongoing source of enjoyment and provide a delightful treat for the senses. Even during times of drought, Xeriscape retains much of its beauty while conventional, water-thirsty landscapes suffer. In addition, well-designed, -installed, and -maintained Xeriscape can increase property values up to 15 percent.
