Xeriscape 2
To address the needs of our North Texas clients in a changing climate, Lucky Lawn will be emphasizing xeriscaping as an attractive and beneficial landscaping approach. Read on for useful information and background on this technique that is growing in popularity.


According to an article by  Eartheasy: Solutions for Sustainable living, xeriscaping "...Originally developed for drought-afflicted areas, [but] the principles of xeriscape today have an ever broadening appeal. With water now considered an expensive and limited resource, all landscaping projects, residential or commercial, can benefit from this alternative.

Xeriscapes do not have a single look - almost any landscaping style can be achieved. The principles can be applied to all or part of a yard, in any geographic region of North America."

The article cites 6 primary benefits of applying xeriscaping principles to your landscaping:
1. Save water
2. Reduce maintenance
3. Eliminate fertilizers and pesticides
4. Improve property value
5. Reduce pollution
6. Provide a wild life habitat

  

Yet xeriscaping isn't quite as straightforward as simply buying and planting "native" plants. There are 7 driving principles behind the philosophy and practice of xeriscaping. Read the complete article here for more details. 

 

Contact Lucky Lawn for an estimate and/or consultation about applying xeriscaping to your landscape.

Drip Irrigation Systems: What are the Benefits?
An article at Eartheasy.com emphasizes the significant benefits of installing a drip irrigation system. A drip irrigation system...

Saves water - Studies show that drip irrigation systems use 30 - 50% less water than conventional watering methods, such as sprinklers.
Improves growth - Smaller amounts of water applied over a longer amount of time provide ideal growing conditions. Drip irrigation extends watering times for plants, and prevents soil erosion and nutrient runoff. Also, because the flow is continuous, water penetrates deeply into the soil to get well down into the root zone.
Discourages weeds - Water is only delivered where it's needed.
Saves time - Setting and moving sprinklers is not required. A timer can be added to the system for automatic watering.
Helps control fungal diseases, which grow quickly under moist conditions. Also, wet foliage can spread disease.
Is Adaptable - A drip irrigation system can be modified easily to adjust to the changing needs of a garden or lawn.
