Hardscaping & xeriscaping
Less lawn to water, without the yard looking like a gravel lot.
Patios, stepping stones, gravel areas, boulders and drought-tolerant planting, designed as one surface plan rather than a lawn with rocks dropped into it.
Xeriscaping is not the absence of plants. Done properly it is a planted landscape that simply asks for much less water than turf does.
Water is the constraint that shapes the design
Restrictions and water costs push more yards waterwise every year. The good version keeps structure, colour and shade; the bad one is bare rock that bakes. The difference is how much you plant.
What the work covers
- Patios and paved areas
- Paver or stone surfaces set on a compacted base so they stay level.
- Gravel and boulder work
- Crushed rock fields and partially buried boulders that sit like they grew there.
- Drought-tolerant planting
- Grasses, sage, lavender and perennials that hold colour through a dry summer.
- Weed barrier and edging
- Underlayment and hard edges so gravel stays where you put it.

Ask about your propertyNot if it is planted. Grasses and drought-tolerant perennials give a xeriscape most of its interest; the gravel is the background, not the point.
Yes, and it is often the better move. Keep turf where people actually use it and convert the strips that only ever get watered.
Often part of the same job.
