Texas is the perfect region, with its semi-arid climate, to consider xeriscaping your lawn for energy conservation and to save on maintenance costs (watering, fertilizing, trimming). Xeriscaping is a type of landscaping using drought-tolerant plants that require little water and fertilization. These plants are typically slow-growing and do not frequently require trimming and disposal. Managing the soil quality and correct watering for xeriscaping are extremely important to the success of the plants used.
