Description:... Colorado's booming population and recent drought have made wise water use a top priority in the Centennial State. Whether you're establishing a new Xeriscape or you wish to transform your existing landscape into a lush yet water-thrifty oasis, Xeriscape Colorado shows you exactly how. Landscape designer Connie Lockhart Ellefson and Denver Water's David Winger take you step by step through the seven principles of Xeriscape: planning and design, soil analysis and improvement, practical turf areas, informed plant choice, efficient irrigation, mulching, and maintenance.
