Low maintenance landscaping is a top priority for many Moriarty homeowners, particularly those managing larger properties where maintaining a full traditional lawn would require significant time and water investment. We design xeriscape yard landscaping that uses drought-tolerant native grasses and hardy perennials across expansive areas, concentrating more detailed plantings closer to the home for visual impact.

Native plant landscaping suited to Moriarty's high plains conditions often includes species with proven resilience to both wind exposure and the area's temperature swings between day and night. We prioritize native shrubs and desert plants with a track record of performing well in similar high plains environments throughout central New Mexico, ensuring the plantings we install are genuinely built for Moriarty's specific conditions.

For Moriarty properties dealing with drainage or runoff concerns, particularly during the area's seasonal storms, we design stormwater friendly landscape solutions that manage water effectively while incorporating native plants suited to periodically wetter conditions. These rain garden and drainage-focused designs add functional value to a xeriscape while still maintaining the low-water, low-maintenance principles that make xeriscaping worthwhile in the first place.

We also work with Moriarty homeowners on smaller, budget-conscious projects, including front yard xeriscape ideas focused on a single problem area rather than a full property renovation. Simple xeriscape ideas, like replacing a struggling lawn section with native grasses and gravel, can be an effective starting point for homeowners not yet ready to commit to a larger installation.
