Xeriscape Projects

Xeriscape Design

As the drought continues over southeastern Wyoming, low moisture landscaping is becoming more popular with landowners.  One of the options that people have for low moisture and low maintenance landscaping is xeriscaping.  This method combines drought tolerant trees and shrubs with flowers and grasses to create an aesthetically pleasing landscape that requires low amounts of supplemental moisture.  If done properly, there is minimal maintenance required.  LRCD assisted with the design of six xeriscape plots in the past year.

 

Xeriscape Demonstration Plot

LRCD continues to maintain the demonstration project that was planted several years ago.  Little supplemental water is provided and weeding is done as needed.

Flowers bloom with minimal irrigation at the LRCD xeriscape demonstration plot on 22nd and Reynolds in Laramie.
