“Xeriscape landscape design and lawnless landscaping for a beautiful front yard “   by Simon George

“The work is taken from the word xeros which is a Greek word means “”dry”" and the xeriscope literally means “”dry landscaping”". Xeriscape landscape design is used mostly by all people for desert plants like cacti but also can used for any plants with sufficient water treatment. The first thing to do in this landscaping is the elimination of lawn grasses as it is the worst element for water conservation. Another method is to use the indigenous plant as they are adapted to local climate and they need only less water. Plants deployed in xeriscape is known as “”xeric”" plants. Xeriscape was developed to explain the water usable landscape programs in 1981 by Associated Landscape Contactors of Colorado.
There involved 7 steps in Xeriscape San Diego landscaping that helps us how to conserve the water and the preservation of the garden. First step is the planning and design which deals planning in water usage and design of the garden. Because of the lack of proper planning, large amount water will get wasted. Do not mix water loving plants and desert plants. Secondly we have to test the soil. Test for the pH, salinity, organic content, nutrient value and texture of the soil. Third step is the appropriate plant selection for planting. Limit the turf area by the removal of lawn less grasses. Well planned irrigation system will not make water and money wastage. The sixth step is the deployment of mulches which is the best to cover up and cool the soil by keeping the evaporation, weed growth, soil erosion rate low. The proper maintenance of the garden is the seventh step.
