Why Fountain Hills Is Embracing Xeriscaping


Water conservation resonates with particular depth and authenticity in a community as naturally beautiful and ecologically aware as Fountain Hills. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, landscape irrigation accounts for nearly 30 percent of total household water use nationally and in desert communities like Fountain Hills that figure climbs dramatically higher during the intense summer months that define life in the Sonoran Desert. 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 compelling financial and environmental return that resonates powerfully with Fountain Hills' environmentally conscious and investment-minded residential community. Beyond the direct water savings, professionally designed drought-tolerant landscaping eliminates the ongoing mowing, fertilizing, overseeding, and seasonal replanting costs that conventional turf demands through Fountain Hills' intense and prolonged desert summer, delivering a combined financial return that makes professional xeriscaping one of the most rewarding outdoor investments available to homeowners in this exceptional Northeast Valley community.
