Background
Native landscaping or xeriscaping is an alternative landscaping practice that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental irrigation outside of natural rainfall. Native plants already adapted to Texas’ semiarid climate are a key feature of this gardening alternative.
Native landscaping companies have become more prominent alongside the 2011 drought experience offering customers a unique cocktail of hardy prairie grasses, succulents, and flowering annuals. See StateImpact’s full report on this trend, Going ‘Native’ In Texas With Less Water.
