Every Arizona homeowner knows that maintaining a garden or lawn is virtually impossible in the desert landscape. However, not everyone wants to resort to the pebbles and cacti of traditional drought-tolerant landscaping.

Luckily, innovations in synthetic grass products are making it possible for property owners to enjoy a lush, vibrant green space without all the maintenance and water usage of a traditional lawn. If you want to turn your backyard into a drought-tolerant paradise — without the cacti — keep reading to learn how.

Synthetic Grass

Artificial turf installation is quickly becoming the No. 1 choice for homeowners in desert climates. Where natural grass needs daily watering and regular mowing, weeding, fertilizing and more, synthetic grass is incredibly low-maintenance and water-wise.

Artificial turf never needs to be watered to remain green, so you can save hundreds of gallons of water each month. In fact, it’s estimated that the average homeowner can save up to 50,000 gallons of water per year by switching to water-wise artificial turf landscaping. This makes it ideal for areas with dry weather or water conservation regulations, and it even has the added bonus of saving you hundreds of dollars a year on your water bill.

Hardscaping

Hardscaping is another popular option for reducing outdoor water usage. Hardscaping increases the usable space in your yard while eliminating the need for water, making it incredibly functional for any household seeking drought-tolerant landscaping.

You can utilize pavers, stone walkways and wood decks to create different areas of use within your backyard. You can create a back patio, front porch, driveway, walkway, gazebo pavilion or pool deck. Not only will these hardscaped areas not require any water usage, but they also provide more space and opportunity for you and your guests to spend time together outdoors.

Recreational Areas

Drought-tolerant landscaping should look beautiful, but it should also be fun and functional for your family. By pairing hardscaping with synthetic grass and other synthetic materials, you can create a recreational paradise the entire family will enjoy.

Utilize synthetic grass to create custom putting greens or bocce ball courts to enjoy on the weekends. You can also create playgrounds with artificial turf that are safer for your kids while retaining the lush look and soft feel of real grass. No matter what activities you have in mind, from pool decks to dog runs, synthetic grass and hardscaping can be utilized to bring your drought-tolerant recreational landscaping dreams to life.
