Xeriscaping

Xeriscaping Kelowna

A large part of the western Canada uses over fifty percent of its residential water to maintain landscaping and lawns.

Xeriscaping can reduce landscape water use by more than 60 percent. And, in times of drought and mandatory water conservation, a Xeriscaped property is often the last in the neighbourhood to turn brown.

At Ducharme Landscapes we will create beautiful Xeriscaping Landscapes by incorporating seven basic principles which lead to saving water:

   Planning and design

   Soil analysis

   Practical turf areas

   Appropriate plant selection

   Efficient irrigation

   Use of mulches

   Appropriate maintenance

By incorporating these seven principles, you can help preserve our most precious natural resource-water.

Your Xeriscaped landscapes can be green, cool landscapes full of beautiful plants maintained with water-efficient practices. The same green Okanagan landscape which we are accustomed to can be achieved and still conserve water.
