Welcome Spring With A Xeriscape Gardening Plan In Arvada

ARVADA, CO– Water is a precious resource on the Front Range, and the average U.S. suburban yard uses about 70,000 gallons of water for irrigating. Xeriscape "water-wise" landscaping yards can get that number down by 90 percent to 7,000 gallons or less, according to Resource Central. The company is offering "Garden in a Box" xeriscape kits with a discount for Arvada residents.

Want to find out more? The City of Arvada is partnering with Resource Central to offer Water-Wise Landscape Seminars on Xeriscape and other sustainable landscaping practices to Arvada residents.

Free landscaping consultations are available to help residents save water and keep their yards looking beautiful. The city is offering 45-minute consultations one-on-one with an expert who will give you a complete landscape assessment, a professional landscape design, and a list of action items and goals that will help you transform your lawn into the garden of your dreams.
