Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design FAQs
What's the difference between a full turf yard and a combo design?
A combo design mixes turf sections with decorative rock, gravel paths, and drought-tolerant plant beds instead of covering the whole yard in turf.
Does combining turf and xeriscape save more on water?
Reducing the total irrigated area while keeping turf only where it's used most tends to maximize water savings.
How much does a xeriscape and turf combo design cost?
Cost depends on how much of the yard is turf versus rock or planting beds. A free estimate will scope your specific layout.
Can I keep some of my existing plants?
Yes. Share what you want to keep during the design consult so it gets worked into the layout.
Does this design work with HOA landscaping rules?
Most HOA communities support mixed turf and xeriscape layouts, but it's worth checking your specific guidelines first.
