1,000 Square Feet of Turf Requires 35,000 Gallons per Year...

Reasons to incorporate rock landscaping into your home or business landscape are:

Save Time - Grass will need mowing once every week or two. Fertilizing should be done monthly. Mowers, weed whackers, and irrigation require maintenance. Dethatching and aerating are also needed periodically. Overseeding is very time intensive. Don't forget to add weed, disease and pest control to your schedule.

Save Water - It requires 35,000 gallons per year to properly water 1,000 sq feet of turf, while low water use plants use only 15,000 gallons for the same amount of space.

Save the Environment - Less or even no fertilizers and pesticides are needed with xeriscape. Much of our water pollution comes from runoff of these products from urban landscapes. Xeriscape also provide great energy saving benefits. A lawn has been shown to reduce home cooling requirements as much as 4 percent compared to a home with no vegetation cover. However, a xeriscape with good tree, shrub and vine placement can cut cooling costs up to 46 percent.
