Xeriscape is a method of landscaping that promotes water conservation. The concept of Xeriscape is based upon seven principles:

Planning and Design

Soil Improvements                                           

Efficient Irrigation

Zoning of Plants

Mulches

Turf Alternatives

Appropriate Maintenance

The word "Xeriscape" was coined by the Denver Water Department in 1981 to help make water conserving landscaping an easily recognized concept. The word is a combination of "landscape" and the Greek word "xeros" which means "dry".

Terrain Incorporated has been involved in designing and installing Xeriscape for over 15 years. Terrain is pleased to offer a free initial consultation with one of our professionals to discuss a xeriscape solution for your landscaping needs.
