Frequently Asked Questions

Xeriscaping is a landscaping philosophy centered on water conservation through smart plant selection, efficient irrigation, and strategic design. The word comes from the Greek "xeros" meaning dry. In Las Vegas, it means creating beautiful landscapes using plants that thrive naturally in the desert climate.
Not at all. Modern desert landscaping is vibrant and visually interesting — featuring colorful blooming plants like desert willow, penstemon, and bougainvillea; structural plants like agave and yucca; and beautiful decorative rock in various colors and textures. George, our waterfall and plants specialist, creates breathtaking desert landscapes.
Yes. Replacing irrigated grass with drought-tolerant landscaping can qualify for the SNWA's $7 per square foot rebate program. We assist with the paperwork to help ensure you receive your maximum rebate.
We select from a wide palette of desert-adapted plants including palo verde trees, desert willow, agave, aloe, yucca, ocotillo, bougainvillea, red yucca, autumn sage, desert marigold, lantana, and many more. George's expertise in desert flora means your plant palette will thrive for decades.
A traditional grass lawn in Las Vegas uses approximately 55-75 gallons per square foot per year. A well-designed xeriscape uses 5-15 gallons per square foot — up to 75% less. For a 1,000 sq ft area, that can mean saving 40,000-60,000 gallons per year.
Most xeriscape conversions range from $5-$15 per square foot depending on plant selections, rock type, and irrigation upgrades. The SNWA rebate (up to $7/sq ft) can significantly offset the cost. We provide free estimates and can help you maximize your rebate.
During establishment (the first 1-2 years), even drought-tolerant plants need supplemental water. We install efficient drip irrigation systems that deliver water directly to plant roots, minimizing waste. Once established, many plants can survive on Las Vegas's natural rainfall alone.
Absolutely. Boulders, decorative rock, river rock, flagstone, and hardscape elements integrate beautifully into desert landscapes. Many of our most stunning projects combine plants, rock work, and water features for a complete desert oasis.
