 The term
“xeriscape” was coined in Denver, CO in the late 1970’s. In
simpler terms, it is a water-saving landscape concept. Utilizing 7
basic principles in your landscape including careful planning and
design, a soil analysis, maintaining practical turf areas,
appropriate plant selection, efficient irrigation, mulching, and
appropriate maintenance, you can knock a hefty percentage off your
water bill this summer. For more information about xeriscape and

The
Perfect Grass For You
 Pets
and children, or other traffic making your lawn look not so
healthy? Is your grass not growing under those shady oak trees?
With all the new turf varieties to choose from, how do you
determine which one is best for your landscape? Hopefully, we can
help. With a medium water requirement, the coarse-bladed
St.
Augustine tolerates shade better than any other type of sod and
can withstand heavy traffic. The fine-bladed Bermuda, on the other
hand, has a very low tolerance to shade, but shares a high traffic
rating. Varieties of Zoysia have a medium to high range of shade
tolerance and a medium water requirement. For more details on what
type of sod will work best for you, visit walkerslandscape.com. |
