Xeriscaping & Native Plant Design in Boulder County

Beautiful Landscapes. Minimal Water. Fully Colorado-Compliant.

Ditch the Lawn. Keep the Beauty.

Xeriscaping isn’t about rocks and cacti — it’s about thoughtful, water-wise design that thrives in our dry climate. At Landscaping Guru, we design and install full xeriscapes using native plants, proper soil structure, and layout techniques that reduce maintenance and maximize beauty.

Why Choose Xeriscaping?

Lower Water Bills: Drip irrigation and drought-resistant plants dramatically reduce water use.

Less Maintenance: No mowing, minimal pruning, and no constant watering.

Native Beauty: We use plants that bloom, grow, and thrive in Colorado’s elevation and soil.

HOA-Friendly: Our designs meet most HOA guidelines for turf replacement and water-wise landscaping.

What’s in a Xeriscape Design?

Native & Drought-Tolerant Plants

We use species like penstemon, blue flax, yarrow, and ornamental grasses suited to your light and soil conditions.

Gravel Paths & Mulch Beds

We use weed barrier fabric, clean gravel, and high-contrast mulches to define zones and prevent growth.

Boulders & Stone Accents

We blend large anchor rocks with smaller decorative cobble for visual interest.

Efficient Irrigation (Optional)

Drip systems, bubblers, and rain sensors keep plants healthy without overwatering.

Our Xeriscaping Process

1. Design & Plant Planning

We create a low-water layout with plant groupings, pathways, and visual balance.

2. Demo & Grading

We remove old turf, fix grading issues, and prepare soil for proper drainage and rooting.

3. Fabric, Mulch & Planting

We install high-quality weed barrier, mulch/gravel, and plant each species with ideal spacing and soil amendment.

4. Optional Irrigation Add-On

We install drip systems or modify existing lines for efficient watering.

5. Finishing Touches

Bordering, signage (if HOA required), and a full walkthrough with maintenance tips.
