Start your design with a strategy in mind. Each approach below shapes the plants, materials and layout of your landscape plan.
Water-wise design, often called xeriscaping, plans a landscape around how much water it really needs. It groups plants by their water needs, chooses drought-tolerant and native species, limits turf to the areas you actually use, and relies on mulch, gravel and efficient irrigation to keep water where roots can use it. The result is a yard that holds up through dry Colorado summers and asks less of you to maintain.

Firewise design arranges plants and materials so there is less for fire to work with around your home. It favors low-flammability plants, keeps shrubs and trees spaced apart, clears away dead growth, and uses stone, gravel, pavers and other non-combustible surfaces closest to the house. No landscape makes a home fireproof, so treat your design as a starting point and check with your local fire authority about defensible space for your property.

A pollinator landscape is planted for the bees, butterflies and other insects that visit flowers. It layers native and well-adapted perennials, grasses and shrubs so something is in bloom from spring through fall, groups plants in drifts that are easy for pollinators to find, and leaves space for nesting and shelter. It is a yard that is as lively as it is beautiful.
