Fun Facts About Landscaping in Texas

Xeriscaping

Given the scarcity of water in some areas of Texas, xeriscaping is a beautiful technique. This method focuses on using drought-tolerant plants and irrigation techniques to conserve water. 

Mesquite Trees

Mesquite trees are common in the Texas landscape. They are well adapted to dry climates and play an important role in providing shade and preventing soil erosion.

Limestone

Texas is famous for limestone, and this natural stone is often used in landscaping, from walkways and patios to retaining walls. 

Texas sage

Texas sage, also known as "cenizo," is a popular tree in Texas landscaping due to its drought resistance, silvery-gray foliage, and vibrant pink flowers.

Drought-tolerant grasses

St. Augustine grass, Bermuda grass and zoysia grass are commonly used in Texas lawns because they are heat tolerant and require less water.
