Less Maintenance, More Savings
Though water conservation is one of the main benefits of xeriscaping, a lot of financial advantages can be reaped from this landscape as well. One of the biggest reasons to invest in "dry design" is not only because it is environmentally sound and aesthetically pleasing, but it also brings you big savings. You no longer have to fight the climate and force your lawn to act unnaturally. By giving into the landscape itself, you're on the winning side of a losing battle. Preserving water isn't just a smart thing to do; it saves you money on bills. You also don't have to fertilize as much. There is less of a need for pest control and expensive chemicals. There will be less maintenance, less pruning, and no more wasteful trimmings. All of this will help save the environment while saving you time, effort, and money.

 Paver Patios and Walkways

Pavers have a lot of advantages and few drawbacks. The main advantage to pavers vs. concrete is they do not crack. Even if something like a large tree root raises one area of the pavers, it's simple just to dismantle and repair that one area - no permanent damage occurs. Pavers are also nice in that they are nearly perfectly flat. Depending on the variety you chose, they can be very easy to place furniture on and for kids to play on. Pavers are also very stable, if installed properly. They actually have more compressive strength than concrete and if they are installed properly should never settle or move for as long as you own your home.
