Why Chandler Is Embracing Xeriscaping
Chandler's position in the heart of the Sonoran Desert — receiving fewer than nine inches of rainfall annually and enduring summer temperatures that regularly exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit — makes conventional turf-based landscaping one of the most water-intensive and financially demanding choices a property owner in this city can make. Research from Arizona State University has found that converting conventional lawn areas to professionally designed xeriscape landscaping can reduce outdoor water consumption by 50 to 75 percent annually — a financial return that resonates powerfully with Chandler's investment-minded and technologically sophisticated residential and commercial community. Beyond the direct water savings, drought-tolerant landscaping eliminates the mowing, fertilizing, overseeding, and seasonal replanting costs that conventional turf demands through Chandler's intense summer months — delivering a combined financial return that makes professional xeriscaping one of the most compelling outdoor investments available to Chandler property owners.
