The Xeris Design Center
Landscapes inspired by Earth's ecosystems.
Every Xeris project starts from a design theme — a proven pairing of plants, stone, and structure drawn from real ecosystems. Explore the themes, or take the quiz and we'll match you.

Theme 01High Desert Steppe
Colorado's arid flats, brought to life
Cold-hardy cacti, succulents, and yucca among granite and onyx boulders — with junipers, piñon pines, and low-water flowering shrubs like agastache and salvia. Level it up with a dry riverbed and sloped berms.
Theme 02Flowering Foothills
The Rockies' front porch, in bloom
Lupine, agastache, Russian sage, catmint, and Indian paintbrush in vibrant layers — accented with ornamental grasses, conifers, and rocky boulders over blended rock and wood mulch.
Theme 03Boulder Forest
Alpine Rockies, in your backyard
Glacial granite boulders, cobblestone paths, forest mulch beds, spruce and pine, and vibrant high-altitude flowers — an immersive, serene mountain space.
Theme 04Bohemian Woodland
Whimsical, artistic, unmistakably yours
An eclectic mix of ground covers, tropical-looking cold-hardy plants, artistic sculptures, wood stumps, and unconventional trees like staghorn sumac — creativity and a deep connection to nature.
Theme 05Rocking Tundra
Stark, raw alpine beauty
Embedded rocks, crevice gardens, low-mounding tundra plants, and cold-hardy succulents and sedum — a striking, resilient landscape that thrives in extreme cold and heat.
Theme 06Fieldstone Prairie
Where the Rockies meet the plains
Ornamental grasses and landmark shade trees — poplars, oaks, honey locust, catalpa — balanced with blooming bushes, granite and buff fieldstones, gathering spaces, and natural paths.
Theme 07Conifer Mulchland
Mountain-modern structure
Spruce, piñon, and juniper set in deep mulch beds with boulder outcrops — clean, architectural, and evergreen. Built to pair with modern homes.
Theme 08The Outback
High-desert premium
Desert-adapted trees, agave, and yucca over pea gravel with stucco walls and sculptural wood — olive-grove calm meets high-desert toughness.
Pricing averages are general estimates and vary by scope, materials, and site conditions.
