  XERISCAPE: LANDSCAPING WITH STYLE IN THE ARIZONA DESERT

This comprehensive, full-color guide provides step-by-step information on how to create and maintain a beautiful, healthy, water-efficient landscape in the Arizona desert.

If you are planning a new landscape, modifying or maintaining an established landscape, or thinking of converting a water-intensive landscape to xeriscape, this guide will be an invaluable resource. It is filled with ideas, instructions, illustrations, photos, sample plans, and helpful tips.

Included in the guide are:
  • gorgeous photos of local landscapes,
  • detailed drip irrigation information,
  • watering schedules for new and established plants,
  • sample landscape and irrigation plans,
  • and a cost estimate worksheet.
An extensive list of resources is located at the end of the guide. It provides suggested reading material, Web sites, telephone numbers for organizations that offer information on xeriscape, and places to visit to learn more about xeriscape.

Free copies of the guide are available through AMWUA member conservation offices and regional water conservation partners.

Produced with funds from the State of Arizona Department of Water Resources Conservation Assistance Fund.

"After reading the guide I now feel secure that I could do my own yard without needing a professional..."

"Thanks for giving me the knowledge to try it on my own!"

"This is an unbelievably awesome resource!"

"Thank you for proving that Xeriscape is not Zero-scape."
