This document discusses waterwise landscaping options that conserve water. It notes that landscaping can provide beauty, utility, and conservation. Zeroscaping and xeriscaping are introduced as waterwise options that use rocks for design and drought-resistant plants that rely on rainwater or limited watering. Both zeroscaping and xeriscaping employ sparse but diverse plantings and rocks to create landscapes that require little to no maintenance and are water-conservative.
