desert landscaping
Dry climate planting
Desert landscaping is the practice of designing outdoor spaces using plants, materials, and techniques suited to arid climates.
It typically features drought-tolerant plants like cacti and succulents, gravel or decomposed granite instead of grass, and efficient irrigation systems.
The approach conserves water while creating aesthetically distinctive yards: Their desert landscaping cut water bills in half.
