Native and adapted plants for Zone 8b. Drip irrigation zoned for each plant's water need. Boulder work, decomposed granite, and lighting that makes the whole yard look intentional — not just low-water.
El Paso's Zone 8b climate is brutally specific: hard freezes in January, 105°F in July, sub-10% humidity most of the year, and soil full of caliche and salts. We design plant palettes that thrive under these exact conditions — not generic "desert plants" that look good at a Phoenix nursery and die in our first winter.
Every design includes a mature-growth drawing so you know what you're getting in year five, not just year one.
Typical front-yard xeriscape conversion (grass to rock + plants + drip) runs $6,500–$14,000 depending on size and number of specimen plants. Full front + backyard design-builds start around $18,000.
Typical xeriscape conversion cuts outdoor water use 60–80%. In El Paso that's $75–$150/month off your summer water bill on an average residential lot.
Most El Paso HOAs now accept xeriscape under Texas Property Code §202.007. We prepare the submittal package including plant list, coverage percentages, and maintenance plan.
Yes — 2-year warranty on plants we install as long as drip irrigation is functional. Mesquites and agaves get a 3-year warranty.
