The Xeriscape principles can be used to create new landscapes as well as to modify existing ones.
No matter what the size and scope of your project, putting pencil to paper is the best possible way to plan. A good design affects how nice the landscape looks, as well as how much water is saved and how much maintenance is required.
The following steps lead you through the completion of a landscape design that takes into account our climate, microclimates of your site, condition of your soil, and existing plants and landscape features.
You may decide to hire professional help for your design, but working through these steps will still give you a much better grasp of what needs to be incorporated into your design.
Use this list to make sure you have all the materials you will need to complete the steps.
