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
Peter and his crew go above and beyond! They were on time and went right to work cleaning up the weeds and putting down fabric and gravel and cleaning up some of my impossible areas. They are so respectful and I would use them again and recommend them for any job! This is the second time I have used them and have been so pleased with the final results!!
Peter and his team did great work! They were quick to reply to my request and handled everything very professionally. I highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.
Peter and his crew are the A team in town! Highly recommend for landscaping, and outdoor projects year round.
Peter came out to estimate a big job at our house. I loved it but had to adjust it down for a temporary period. He and his team of 3 guys came out to get it done. They weeded, adjusted sprinklers, moved landscaping rocks, mulched and added a drip system to my front garden. They worked all day even in the hot sun! Love their work. Very friendly, kind, and professional. They will be back to finish my larger project!
Peter and his crew were really kind and great to work with overall. They absolutely transformed our front and backyard!
Cooper and B were amazing. This was the second job they did for us this year, the first was trimming and cleaning up a lot of lilacs, chokecherries and willows. They did such a good job with that we asked them to come back and weed this large iris bed. It had deeply entrenched grass and the iris needed to be separated. The guys did a really great job. They were careful and thorough. We'll be hiring them again! Oh, and we live up Fourmile canyon and the 15 minute drive from town wasn't a problem.
