Zeroscaping in Houston

WHAT IS ZEROSCAPING?

Landscaping designed to use little water once plants are established.

• Native & drought-tolerant plants
• Minimal or no grass
• Rock, gravel & mulch instead of turf
• Drip irrigation or no irrigation at all

WHY IT WORKS IN HOUSTON

Houston’s climate is hot, humid, and unpredictable — zeroscaping is built for it.

• Handles extreme heat
• Reduces outdoor water use
• Manages heavy rain with permeable materials
• Uses plants that thrive in Texas conditions

THE BENEFITS

• Lower water bills
• Less mowing & maintenance
• Fewer fertilizers & chemicals
• More sustainable landscaping

WHAT YOU’LL SEE IN A ZEROSCAPE

Instead of a traditional lawn:

• Texas sage, salvias & blackfoot daisy
• Gulf muhly & native grasses
• Gravel, decomposed granite & stone paths
• Mulched planting beds

Clean. Modern. Texas-friendly.

BONUS: STORM READY

Zeroscaping helps absorb rainfall and reduce runoff by using:

• Permeable surfaces
• Smart grading
• Mulch & rock beds

WHY IT MATTERS

Zeroscaping helps conserve water, reduce strain on local systems, and create landscapes that work with Houston weather — not against it.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Less water. Less work. Less stress.
A smarter way to landscape in Houston.
