So xeriscape landscaping is a "type" of theme that imports many of its features from desert landscaping. It is a way of landscaping that lowers or eliminates water consumption using plants that have low water requirements and reducing or eliminating lawns by using alternative ground covers.

 Small sloped front yard with low maintenance shrubs. A gravel bed of crushed rock flows out to the street like a river from the front stone steps.

This xeriscaped front yard can be made easily and affordably.
This is done with simple landscape bricks and decorative rocks that makes for a nice contrast, while adding in some plants can give it colour. 

This reduced lawn using alternative ground covers is a great way to lower water consumption. A nice front yard patio makes for a friendly and welcoming home.
