What is Xeriscape Landscaping?

Xeriscaping is a style of landscaping where little to no irrigation is required. In some cases, this even includes maintenance. In Las Vegas and surrounding areas, this would include trees and plants that are native to our climates or other similar climates. This compatibility means they are ready for the Las Vegas weather.

Add Color to the Desert

So, here's a scenario: You've just bought a house in the middle of Summer and in a brand-new development in the Las Vegas area, and while the house is gorgeous inside and has everything you ever wanted in your home, you look outside and all you have is an empty dirt lot and an ugly concrete block wall.

How to Care for Your Yard and What to Plant in July

Watering: We recommend watering early in the morning as this reduces the evaporation loss. Deep watering is the best way to ensure that the entire root zone becomes properly saturated. When it comes to watering trees, be sure to saturate the soil at least three feet deep and for shrubs, drench the soil at least one foot deep. You will want to deep water your trees every other day for the next few weeks and continue to monitor them so they are not over or under-watered.
