Cenizo, muhly grass, red yucca, esperanza, lantana. The Hill Country has been landscaping itself for a few million years. We just take notes.
Xeriscape questions
Will xeriscaping make our property look like a desert?
No — done right, it looks like the Texas Hill Country: muhly grasses, cenizo, salvias, red yucca and shade trees. The goal is layered, colorful, regionally authentic landscape that happens to use 40–60% less water.
What rebates are available for commercial xeriscape in San Antonio?
SAWS WaterSaver commercial programs periodically offer per-square-foot incentives for turf conversion and irrigation upgrades. We scope projects to qualify and handle the application paperwork end to end.
How long does a commercial xeriscape conversion take?
Most entrance or streetscape conversions run 2–6 weeks depending on demolition and irrigation rework. We phase installations so the property never looks torn up during the transition.
