For this home in Austin, TX, we created a completely new landscape look for the owners. This is a Xeriscape landscape. Xeriscape means employing a type of drought-resistant landscaping. The river rocks help to keep the moisture in the ground. They are teamed with drought-resistant plants. The river rock pathway is gently curved to provide a sense of a meandering river. The owner’s cat still isn’t quite sure if he approves of the new layout.
