xeriscape
Our mission
Colorado Deck and Landscape can assist you in designing and implementing your own water-friendly landscaping. Whether it’s a complete xeriscape lawn or a combination of traditional and water-friendly plants, we have the experience to help you!
Denver receives an average of 14.5 inches of moisture each year. While this is not enough to support Kentucky Bluegrass, which on average needs up to two inches of water a week, it is enough to support native green plants and grasses without additional moisture.
Aurora, Colorado, has become one of the leaders in water conservation and xeriscaping with their Water-Wise program. Aurora residents are eligible for financial incentives including rebates for Water-Wise xeriscaping, free xeriscape landscape designs and xeriscaping classes. The City maintains a 6-acre garden with a variety of plants and landscape ideas. The public is welcome to visit the garden located at Aurora’s City Center at Alameda and Chambers Road.
