At Xeric Garden, I specialize in creating beautiful, sustainable, and water-wise landscapes that thrive in Colorado’s unique climate. My goal is to design gardens that are both visually stunning and environmentally responsible, using drought-tolerant plants, smart irrigation techniques, and thoughtful layout planning. Whether you’re looking to transform your front yard, establish a native plant haven, or reduce your water usage, I offer tailored services to meet your needs.
My Services
1. Custom Garden Design
I work closely with homeowners to create personalized garden designs that reflect their aesthetic preferences and functional needs. My designs emphasize:
- Drought-tolerant and native plants
- Efficient use of space and resources
- Seasonal interest and long-term sustainability
2. Xeriscaping
Maximize beauty while minimizing water usage with a thoughtfully designed xeriscape. My xeriscaping services focus on:
- Selecting plants that thrive in dry conditions
- Implementing water-efficient irrigation methods
- Designing landscapes that require little to no supplemental watering
3. Firescaping & Fire-Resistant Landscaping
Protect your home and property with strategic firescaping techniques. My fire-resistant landscape designs or consultations include:
- Fire-resistant plant selections that reduce fuel loads
- Proper spacing and layout to create defensible space
- Use of gravel, stone, and other non-flammable materials to slow fire spread
4. Crevice and Rock Garden Installations (Limited Each Year)
Enhance your landscape with a striking crevice or rock garden, designed to mimic natural alpine environments while providing a low-maintenance, water-wise solution.
Crevice and rock gardens are a specialized offering designed to replicate natural alpine landscapes in a water-wise, low-maintenance way. I take on a small number of these projects each year and offer them selectively based on site conditions, scope, and homeowner involvement. These installations work best as a collaborative effort with homeowners who are willing to participate physically in the build process.
5. Lawn Alternatives & Water-Wise Solutions
Replace thirsty lawns with beautiful, eco-friendly options such as:
- Short native grass species for low-water or no-mow turf alternatives
- Ground cover plantings that require minimal irrigation
- Hardscaping elements to reduce water consumption
6. Garden Consultations & Coaching
Need expert advice? I offer one-on-one consultations to provide guidance on plant selection, garden layout, firewise solutions, and water-efficient strategies. Whether you’re just starting your garden journey or refining an existing space, my consultations are tailored to your specific needs. I provide in-depth recommendations on soil health, plant combinations, and irrigation techniques. For those who prefer a hands-on approach, I offer coaching sessions to walk you through the process, helping you gain confidence in creating and maintaining a thriving xeric garden. I also offer follow-up sessions to ensure ongoing success and adaptation to seasonal changes.
7. Ongoing Support & Maintenance Planning
A thriving xeric garden requires thoughtful care. I provide follow-up services to help ensure your garden continues to flourish, offering seasonal check-ins and maintenance recommendations.
