Xeris Landscaping Featured on FOX31: Save Water & Rethink Your Lawn

We're excited to share that Xeris Landscaping was featured on FOX31's Great Day Colorado, talking about something every Denver homeowner is thinking about right now: brown lawns, climbing water bills, and what to actually do about both.

The problem: thirsty lawns in a dry climate

Traditional Kentucky bluegrass was never built for the Front Range. It drinks water all summer, browns out in the heat, and still pushes your bill higher every year. If your lawn looks tired no matter how much you water it, you aren't doing anything wrong — the grass is simply the wrong tool for our climate.

Water-wise landscaping isn't "rocks and cactus"

The biggest myth about xeriscaping is that it means a yard full of gravel. Done right, water-wise landscaping is lush, colorful, and alive — native perennials and grasses, blooming groundcovers, and thoughtful hardscape that looks intentional in every season. You use a fraction of the water and get a yard that actually turns heads.

You can get paid to make the switch

Here's what a lot of homeowners don't realize: Denver-area water providers offer rebates for replacing thirsty turf with water-wise landscaping. Between a lower water bill and rebate dollars, the switch often pays back a meaningful share of the project. Our team helps you figure out what you qualify for as part of the process — it's a real part of the math, not an afterthought.

What it costs — and what it's worth

A well-designed xeriscape is an investment that pays you back in lower bills and a yard you actually enjoy. We break down real numbers in our guide to xeriscaping costs in Denver, and you can see finished projects across the metro in our portfolio.
