REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE

Seven simple ingredients of xeriscaping

By G. Owen Yost Landscape Architect

Xeriscaping is a term that’s getting a lot of use, particularly in light of stratospheric water rates. Most people intend xeriscaping to require significantly less water, but few people can say exactly what it is, much less pronounce it.

First of all, it’s pronounced as if the “x” were a “z”; using the Greek root “xeros” which means “dry”. Think of the word as “zeriscaping”. It certainly doesn’t mean no water, it means a minimum of water — used efficiently.

It originated with the Denver water department, in their effort to get users to conserve water. In addition to using water-efficient plants, it also concerns landscaping practices that are based on a bare minimum of water usage. A yard that’s truly xeriscaped not only conserves water, but is goodlooking, protects the environment, reduces water waste, and will cut your utility bills. It revolves around seven principles, which are; Start with a plan. Develop a plan that divides your yard into areas of similar water needs: one area for low water, one for more water, one for watering occasionally by hand, one for no water and so on. Commit this “master plan” to paper, tack it on the wall, and let it guide your every move even if it takes several years to get your landscape the way you want it.

Improve and analyze your soil. Most soil around Denton could stand some improvement. Check with the County Extension Agent (565-5535) or a local nursery. Compost, certain organisms, crushed volcanic rock...may help your plants utilize water more efficiently. Fundamentally, you should alter your landscaping practices to coordinate with our environment, rather than attempt to alter the environment drastically — including the soil.

Use practical lawn areas.

Reduce your lawn to a size you actually use and can reasonably care for. It takes roughly an hour each week of the growing season to maintain each 100 square feet of lawn you have, and a lawn demands about ten times as much water as established ground cover or a shrub mass. That’s expensive! Unless you shrink your lawn’s size greatly, following the other xeriscape principles won’t help you much.

Select appropriate plants.

Using water-efficiency as a guide, select native plants or plants from other parts of the world that are adapted to north Texas’ harsh temperatures and low summer rainfall. These are the plants (and there are hundreds of them) that will be fairly self-sufficient, and need very little extra water (other than normal rainfall). Carefully selected plants require a lot less soil amendment and fertilizer, too. Several nurseries have good selections, and Keep Denton Beautiful selects a “xeriscape yard-of-the-month” that may give you some good ideas.

Water efficiently. When you water your plants, water deeply - letting it soak deep into the soil (several inches at least), not run off into the gutter. Doing this on a weekly basis uses less water overall than watering a little bit every day, and results in healthier plants. And try to water early in the mornings, when the temperature is lower, wind is calmer, and all that expensive water is less apt to be wasted through evaporation.

Use an organic mulch. A layer of mulch greatly reduces water loss and weed growth.

It’s available aat the landfill from Denton’s Water Reclamation Plant, or a local nursery. Or just shred old leaves to create a natural mulch. Make sure to put about a 3” layer of it around new plants (in a doughnut shape), and refresh it every few

months.

Maintain appropriately. A properly maintained landscape is better able to withstand drought, pests, and will reduce water demand. The key is to avoid over-maintaining a yard, so that it looks orderly, but is extremely wasteful. Avoid traditional practices such as cutting lawns and hedges unnaturally low, vigorously raking away all natural yard debris like leaves, pruning more than you really need to, killing all the insects in your yard and putting out a lot of artificial fertilizer.

All waste water!

Those are the seven xeriscape principles. They’re not difficult, expensive or elaborate. In fact, they’re simply common sense. Actually, some people may already have a

xeriscaped yard and not realize it, using only their well-tuned sense of logic as a guideline.

Other homeowners would like to redesign their yard into a xeriscape, but face neighborhood design committees or deed restrictions that say they have to have a lawn. I’d feel obliged to question the legality and enforceability of any rule that requires a homeowner to spend a lot of extra money and restricts basic Constitutional rights. I’d think that as long as your newly-xeriscaped yard is attractive and well-maintained, you’d be getting no visits from any grass police.

Most people can apply the xeriscape principles to their house. But these seven principles apply equally well to the landscapes of apartment build-

ings, stores, office buildings, places of worship, and so on.

Use them and your utility costs should go way down over the long haul. And you’ll have an attractive, low-maintenance yard all summer long.

Add a “Victory Garden”...

Enjoy the fruits of your land! Your family will benefit from the delicious vegetables and fruits you grow right in an under utilized portion of your landscape. Perhaps in a side yard? Or in an area beyond the hedge? Or in a colorful display just as the French do, mixing flowers, shrubs, herbs, vegetables and small fruit trees!

Gardens surrounding your home give life to the stone, concrete and wood. They create outdoor rooms for family and friends...spaces to gather, picnic, play and contemplate. They expand your home, beautify it and make it part of the land. Why not make a portion produce edibles!

Plants do more than provide “curb appeal,” they amplify your home. Your lifestyle becomes richer for it. No matter the challenges we might face, a victory garden adds to the value you create.

CALLOWAY’S

Energy rebates possible with state program Texans who want to save money on ENERGY STAR® appliances will soon have a chance to apply for mail-in rebates on those purchases.

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs announced the purchase period for the Texas Appliance Mail-In Rebate Program will start on Dec. 20.

Approximately $10 million is available for the traditional mail-in rebate program, which will remain open until all funds are distributed.

“As Texans buy appliances that can help cut their energy bills, they can also save on the price of the appliances with these rebates,” said Combs in a news release.

“Consumers can start buying the appliances on Dec. 20 and, after installation, mail in their completed rebate application form and a copy of the receipt to be eligible for the rebates.”

Rebate forms will be available for consumers to download and print closer to the start of the purchase period on Dec. 20.

The state is also working with retailers to make the forms available at stores at that time. Both the purchase receipt and the postmark on the envelope submitting the rebate application must be dated on or after Dec. 20, 2010. The mail-in rebate applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis based on the postmark on the rebate appli-

Some rebates include: Air-source heat pumps $1,000 Central air conditioners $1,000 Clothes washers - $100 Dishwashers - $85 Freezers - $100 Refrigerators - $175 cation envelope.

After the program starts, a daily countdown calculator of rebate funds will be available online to help consumers gauge the amount of funds processed and amount available for rebates. Consumers who buy an ENERGY STAR® appliance must replace and dispose of an old appliance of the same type to be eligible for a rebate. An additional $75 rebate is available for recycling the old appliance. Proof of disposal or recycling is required, and details will be provided on the rebate application form.

To qualify for a rebate, applicants must have a valid Texas residential address and follow all program rules.

Texas consumers are limited to a maximum of two rebates per household, which includes any rebates received from the April 2010 program.

Each rebate applied for must be from a different appliance ances in-store from a Texas category.
