Frequently Asked Questions About Xeriscape
What is xeriscape landscaping?
Xeriscaping is a landscape design approach that reduces unnecessary water use through thoughtful plant selection, efficient irrigation, appropriate groundcovers, mulch, decorative rock, and smart landscape planning. A xeriscape does not have to look dry or barren—it can include colorful plants, trees, shrubs, pathways, boulders, and other attractive landscape features.
Is xeriscaping a good choice for Southern California?
Yes. Southern California’s warm, dry climate makes drought-tolerant landscaping especially practical. Choosing plants suited to our climate and using efficient irrigation can help create an attractive landscape while reducing the amount of water and maintenance required compared with many traditional lawn-heavy landscapes.
Does a xeriscape have to be mostly rocks and succulents?
No. Xeriscaping can include a wide variety of drought-tolerant trees, flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses, groundcovers, succulents, and other plants. Decorative rock, mulch, boulders, pathways, and hardscape can be incorporated to add texture and structure while creating a landscape that complements your home.
How much water can a xeriscape save?
Water savings vary depending on the existing landscape, plant selection, irrigation system, property size, and amount of lawn being replaced. Converting high-water-use areas to drought-tolerant planting and efficient irrigation can substantially reduce outdoor water use, but every property is different.
Can you replace my existing lawn with drought-tolerant landscaping?
Yes. We can remove existing lawn and redesign the area using drought-tolerant plants, groundcovers, decorative gravel, mulch, boulders, pathways, drip irrigation, and other landscape elements. The design can range from simple lawn replacement to a complete front or backyard transformation.
How much maintenance does a xeriscape require?
Xeriscapes generally require less ongoing maintenance than traditional lawn-heavy landscapes, but they are not maintenance-free. Plants still require periodic trimming, irrigation adjustments, weed control, cleanup, and general care. Proper design and plant selection can significantly reduce routine watering, mowing, and other maintenance.
Are rebates available for replacing my lawn with drought-tolerant landscaping?
Yes. Qualifying LADWP customers may be eligible for turf replacement rebates when converting existing lawn to an approved sustainable landscape. Current rebate amounts and requirements vary by customer and project type, and pre-approval may be required before work begins. We recommend checking the current program requirements before starting your project.
