Frequently Asked Questions About Drought-Tolerant Landscaping

Find answers to common questions about xeriscaping, native plants, and sustainable solutions for Idaho.

Absolutely not! Modern drought-tolerant landscapes, or xeriscapes, are designed to be lush, vibrant, and incredibly diverse. We focus on a rich palette of native and drought-adapted plants that offer year-round interest, brilliant blooms, and a dynamic aesthetic that often surpasses traditional grassy lawns in beauty and ecological value. Our designs are tailored to your aesthetic preferences, ensuring a full and inviting appearance.

On average, our clients see a 50-70% reduction in outdoor water usage, especially when combined with efficient irrigation systems. This translates to significant savings on your monthly water bill, particularly during Boise's hot, dry summers. The exact savings depend on your current landscape, the size of your property, and the specific design implemented.

Quite the opposite! Native plants are inherently adapted to Idaho's climate and soil conditions, meaning they require significantly less water, fertilizer, and pest control once established compared to non-native species. They are naturally more resilient to local weather extremes. While they do require some initial care during establishment, their long-term maintenance is remarkably low.

While the initial investment for a high-quality drought-tolerant landscape can be comparable to or slightly more than a traditional one, the long-term savings are substantial. Reduced water bills, minimal fertilization needs, and significantly less maintenance (mowing, pruning, pest control) lead to a rapid return on investment. Many clients find their xeriscape pays for itself within 3-5 years through these operational savings.
