Will it look like a desert?
Not at all. A good xeriscape has rich texture, color, and seasonal interest with succulents, grasses, flowering perennials, and small trees.
How long does install take?
A typical 800-1,200 sq ft conversion takes 5-10 working days. Larger installs with hardscape can take 2-4 weeks.
What about HOA approval?
We design xeriscapes that meet Foster City HOAs. California law (AB 1572) also limits HOA ability to require lawn.
Is xeriscape the same as drought-tolerant?
They overlap heavily. Drought-tolerant focuses on plant selection. Xeriscape is a broader philosophy including irrigation efficiency, soil prep, mulching, and reducing lawn.
How much water does xeriscape save?
A typical lawn uses roughly 60 gallons per sq ft per year. A well-designed xeriscape uses 8-15 gallons - a dramatic reduction on your Foster City water bill.
