Drought tolerant landscaping designed for the high desert. Less water, less mowing, lower bills, and a yard that still looks like something.
Lower your water bill, stop mowing, and get a yard built around plants that belong in this climate. Perez Landscaping designs and installs xeriscapes across Reno, Sparks, and Northern Nevada.
Ramiro Perez has been building landscapes suited to this climate since 1990.
Our ground is hard on plants, and there is a hard layer in many yards that stops water cold. We plan around it.
Turf removal, grading, drainage, hardscape, rock, planting, and irrigation.
Ramiro walks the property, quotes the job, and is on site while it gets built.
The whole yard converted to drought tolerant planting, rock, and drip.
Keep a small lawn where the kids or the dog actually use it, convert the rest.
Drought tolerant shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials with rock between them.
A paver patio and seat walls at the center with low water planting around it.
A xeriscape is not a gravel lot. We mix drought tolerant plants, ground cover, rock, and hardscape so the yard has color, structure, and something to look at in every season. You choose how much green you keep and how much goes to rock.
Most conversions take several days to a couple of weeks depending on square footage, how much comes out first, and how much hardscape is included. You get a written estimate before work starts.
Much less work than a lawn, but not zero. Plants need occasional pruning, rock beds pick up windblown dirt and a few weeds over time, and drip emitters should be checked now and then for clogs.
Thirsty lawns converted into low water yards that still look finished in every season.

No. There is no turf removal rebate in the Reno and Sparks area. The program people ask about is in Las Vegas, run by a different water authority.
Not at all. Many customers keep a small lawn where it gets used and convert the rest, which captures most of the water savings.
Watering is the biggest water use on most properties here, and drip on drought tolerant plants uses a fraction of what sprinklers on grass do. We can give you a real sense of it after seeing the yard.
More than most people expect. A wide range of shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials handle our soil and winters and still give you color.
Only if it is designed badly. Evergreens, grasses that hold their shape, and the rock and hardscape carry the yard through the cold months.
There is no turf removal rebate in the Reno and Sparks area. Here is where the confusion comes from and how xeriscaping still pays off.
A xeriscape is not a gravel lot. How evergreens, grasses, rock and hardscape carry a low water yard through Northern Nevada winters.
