Understanding Xeriscapes: The Art of Water-Wise Landscaping
At Green Mountain Boys Garden and Landscape, we specialize in xeriscapes, a sustainable landscaping method designed to reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental watering. Xeriscaping is not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective, making it a preferred choice for homeowners and businesses in Colorado's semi-arid climate.
What is Xeriscaping?
Xeriscaping is derived from the Greek word 'xeros' meaning dry. This landscaping technique emphasizes water conservation through creative landscape design that often includes drought-resistant plants, efficient irrigation, soil improvement, and mulching.
The Benefits of Xeriscaping
- Water Conservation: Xeriscapes significantly reduce water usage, which is particularly valuable in drought-prone areas like Colorado.
- Low Maintenance: With the right plant selection and design, xeriscapes require less maintenance, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful garden with minimal effort.
- Cost Efficiency: Lower water bills and reduced need for fertilizers and pesticides translate into cost savings.
- Environmental Stewardship: By minimizing water use and supporting native species, xeriscapes contribute positively to local ecosystems.

Why people choose us
In their words, not ours
We recently collaborated with Green Mountain Boys on a landscape project they brought us in on, and it was a great experience. Their team was organized, communicative, and focused on delivering a high-quality result. We’re currently working through design ideas on a couple more projects together and look forward to continuing the partnership.
Green Mountain Boys built our hardscape patio and the whole experience felt sharp from day one. The design process was collaborative and thoughtful — they walked the space with us, offered strong ideas on layout and materials, and made us feel confident without ever being pushy. The crew works hard and takes real pride in their craft. The patio base is rock solid, the cuts are clean, and the finished space feels intentional and high-end. Great attitude, great communication, and a result we’re genuinely proud to show off.
We had a great experience with Green Mountain Boys. Peter came out, walked the property with us, and actually listened. He asked how we use the yard, what we cared about, and where we wanted to invest versus save. He offered suggestions and we were impressed with his plant knowledge and creative ideas. The design process was simple and clear. No pressure, no upselling — just honest conversations and solid ideas. Once the job started, the crew showed up when they said they would and kept the site clean. The finished product looks sharp and feels built the right way. You can tell they care about doing it right, not just getting it done.
I highly recommend this company. The guys were super professional and they accommodated all my requests.
These guys are trustworthy and awesome to be around fantastic job extremely reliable and responsible. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
