Low Water or Drought Tolerant Landscaping is called Xeriscaping. This is a landscaping approach that focuses on the proper selection of landscape elements and the efficient use of water. It encourages careful landscape planning and the use of sensible landscape design techniques. Xeriscaping can dramatically reduce landscape water use by 50% to 75%. This can be achieved by adopting various water conservation techniques such as planting drought tolerant plants, using permeable pavers and mulches, installing efficient irrigation systems, and reducing the turf area. Installing landscaping rocks on specific areas in the landscape will also help you save water and reduce maintenance cost. We can design you a very beautiful landscape using exciting flowering plants and shade trees, low water efficient irrigation with decorative gravel, rock, stones, cobbles and boulders and any other features you desire. You or your landscape installation expert will have an installation plan, material list and plant list for for quick action.

Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?
