Landscaping on a dry climate

But if you’re living in a dry climate, there’s not much option of plants which can survive without water in a long period left. To overcome this problem, you need to keep these points in mind:

  • Avoid planting large trees near gardens, driveways, buildings or a boundary fence. This is to prevent smaller plants around the bigger tree competing uselessly for nutrients since it’ll be claimed by the tree after all.
  • Consider to select trees that consume less water and don’t grow to great heights. You can choose deciduous trees that have caliper less than 2 inches or and trees with a mature height not greater than 6 feet to reduce a lot of water requirements.
  • Plants that need more water can be placed in the north or eastern side of your house and those which require less water can be in the south and west side.

Those are not the only solutions or alternative to landscaping on a dry climate. There are lots more! Use your common sense and things you’ve learned from your gardening activity to bring your home great beauty anytime.
