Cutting Water Waste With Drought-Tolerant Design

A conventional lawn is one of the thirstiest features any Glendale yard can have, especially through the city's long, dry summer months. That's the exact problem our drought tolerant landscaping service solves, swapping thirsty turf for resilient plantings built to handle limited rainfall. The numbers speak for themselves: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense program has found that landscapes built with region appropriate, water efficient plants use 20 to 50 percent less outdoor water than conventional turf heavy yards.

Satisfied Clients

"We'd been dreading our water bill every summer for years, so we finally called Los Angeles Xeriscape to redo our front and back yards. They walked us through the whole process, from soil testing to plant selection, and were upfront about what would actually work for our specific spot instead of just pushing whatever was easiest. The install crew was efficient and cleaned up perfectly after themselves. It's been a few months now and our water bill has already dropped noticeably. Wish we'd done this years ago."

"After years of fighting with a patchy lawn that never looked good no matter how much we watered it, we finally gave in and called Los Angeles Xeriscape. Best decision we've made for this house. They actually took the time to explain why certain plants would work in our yard and which ones wouldn't survive our microclimate, which no other company had bothered to do. The finished design looks way more polished than I expected, and we haven't had to think about the sprinklers nearly as much. Highly recommend if you're on the fence about making the switch."

Design Ideas Suited to Glendale's Front and Backyards

Curb appeal matters most out front, so our front yard designs lean on layered native plantings, clean pathways, and well placed boulders to create a polished first impression for Glendale's many hillside and foothill properties. In the backyard, priorities shift toward livability, with shaded seating areas, drought tolerant plant groupings, and hardscaping that make outdoor space genuinely usable through the warmer months.

Native Plants That Belong in This Landscape

Southern California's native plant communities anchor our xeric garden and native plant installations, bringing in drought resistant shrubs, native grasses, and seasonal flowering perennials suited to Glendale's foothill adjacent climate. These plantings pay off ecologically too. Multiple university extension programs, along with the Xerces Society, have documented that established native plantings can cut fertilizer and pesticide needs by as much as 60 percent once mature, a real win for local pollinators and for homeowners looking to spend less time on upkeep.

Serving Glendale's Businesses and HOA Communities

Local businesses, schools, HOAs, and public agencies throughout Glendale turn to our commercial and HOA xeriscaping to meet water use standards while keeping shared spaces looking professional and well maintained, always designed within existing community aesthetic guidelines.

A Complete Path From Idea to Finished Yard

Plenty of Glendale clients start out simply wanting a better yard, without xeriscaping specifically in mind, and our landscaping design and installation service is built to meet them there, managing everything from the first site visit through final walkthrough. For those who already know what they want but need expert plant guidance, our horticulture and plant selection consulting service is available as a standalone option, no full installation required.

What Glendale's Turf Rebate Actually Offers

Glendale Water and Power runs its own Turf Replacement Program, and it's a strong one. Residential customers can currently receive 3 dollars per square foot for replacing turf with drought tolerant and native plants, converting to drip or otherwise efficient irrigation, and incorporating rainwater capture into the new design. An additional rebate of up to 100 dollars per tree, for up to five trees, can be layered on top through the region wide Metropolitan Water District program. Commercial customers, schools, HOAs, and public agencies have access to their own rebate tiers as well, some temporarily elevated ahead of the state's upcoming nonfunctional turf restrictions. As with most of these programs, funds must be reserved and approved before any turf comes out, and our team handles that process for clients from start to finish.
