Xeriscaping is a type of landscaping that is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for irrigation, thus conserving water.

The term ‘xeri-‘ comes from the Greek word ‘xeros’, meaning dry. Xeriscaping utilizes drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation methods, and careful planning to minimize water usage in landscapes.

The principles of xeriscaping include proper design, soil improvement, efficient irrigation (e.g., drip irrigation), appropriate plant selection, mulching, and proper maintenance. While water conservation is the primary goal, it can also contribute to reducing maintenance costs and sometimes soil erosion.
