Xeriscape means that there is some water in well-controlled amounts of water and locations in the landscape. Xeriscape is NOT lawnless landscape. Some lawn, even species that are highly watered can be wise water usage.
The Austin Xeriscape focused plants in this list are very hardy, drought tolerant and resistant and will need a good watering only during especially hard droughts. We strive to design and use as many Central Texas and Austin, TX Xeriscaping plants as we can in our Xeriscape designs and landscaping projects in Austin.
