Water-Conserving Landscapes, Drought-Tolerant Landscaping, Smart Scaping
Cost Considerations
Xeriscaped yards use up to two thirds less water than yards with lawns. Over time, this cost savings can cover the cost of installation, especially in areas where lawns require regular watering due to rainfall not being sufficient to keep them watered. The cost of xeriscaping can range from $10,800 to $27,500.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
