Boise's Premier Full-Service Xeriscape Company
Transform Your Yard. Save Water. Love Your Landscape.
Boise is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country — and its water supply is feeling the pressure. According to the Idaho Rural Water Association, Idaho uses more domestic water per capita than any other state, and a significant share of that goes straight to thirsty lawns that were never well-suited to our high desert climate. At Xeriscape Boise, we believe your yard can be beautiful, resilient, and water-wise — all at the same time. Idrwa

Drought-Tolerant Landscaping That Works for Boise
Xeriscaping — or xeric landscaping — is not about gravel and cactus. Done right, it means a lush, layered, low-maintenance landscape filled with drought-tolerant plants that thrive in Boise's semi-arid climate without constant irrigation. Our water-wise landscaping designs replace water-hungry turf with native plants, ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, and smart hardscape elements that look stunning year-round.
Whether you need a waterwise landscape design for your front yard or a complete desert-style backyard transformation, we build landscapes that perform in Boise summers and survive its winters — with a fraction of the water.
Front & Backyard Design Ideas Tailored to You
Every property is different. Our design team specializes in xeriscape garden design that fits your lifestyle, aesthetic, and budget. Looking for modern desert backyard ideas? We can create a clean, contemporary xeric garden with bold plantings, decomposed granite pathways, and low-water plants that give your outdoor space a dramatic, finished look. Prefer something softer and more traditional? Our xeriscape garden ideas range from colorful cottage-inspired beds to desert oasis backyards with shade trees, drought-tolerant shrubs, and dry creek beds.
From small desert backyard ideas on a budget to large-scale desert landscape backyard designs, we handle projects of every scope. No yard is too small, no vision too ambitious.
Xeric Garden & Native Plant Installation
Boise sits in the high desert of the Treasure Valley, which means there is an incredible palette of native and water-wise plants naturally suited to this environment. Our horticulture and plant selection consulting service helps you choose the right drought-resistant shrubs, xeriscape grasses, xeriscape bushes, and low-water plants for your specific sun exposure, soil type, and aesthetic goals.
Our xeric garden installations are designed for long-term health — not just day-one curb appeal. We source quality xeriscape plants, prepare soil properly, and install efficient drip irrigation systems that deliver water exactly where plants need it, eliminating waste.
Commercial & HOA Xeriscaping
Water costs are one of the largest controllable expenses for commercial properties and homeowners associations. Xeriscape Boise offers turnkey commercial and HOA xeriscape design and installation services that reduce irrigation demand, lower maintenance costs, and improve property aesthetics simultaneously.
We work with property managers, HOA boards, and commercial developers to create desert-friendly landscaping plans that meet community standards while delivering meaningful water savings. Our team manages the full project timeline, from initial xeriscape design templates and planning through installation and final walkthrough.
Landscaping Design & Installation
Our process is simple: we listen, we design, and we build. Every project begins with a thorough site assessment and consultation. We then develop a custom xeriscape garden design plan that balances beauty, functionality, and water efficiency. Once the plan is approved, our installation crews get to work — handling grading, plant installation, irrigation conversion, hardscape, and finishing details with care and craftsmanship.
We are your single point of contact from the first conversation to the final walk-through. No subcontracting surprises, no miscommunication — just clean, professional xeriscape landscaping delivered on time.
Horticulture & Plant Selection Consulting
Not ready for a full installation? Our standalone horticulture consulting service is for homeowners who want expert guidance on DIY xeriscape projects, plant selection, soil amendments, or how to xeriscape their yard in phases. Our consultants bring deep knowledge of low-water plants, xeriscape shrubs, and waterwise plants suited specifically to Boise's climate and growing conditions.
We can walk your property, assess what you have, and give you a clear, actionable plan — whether you want to tackle it yourself or bring us back to install.
Water Rebates & Incentives for Boise Homeowners
Going water-wise can also save you money upfront. Idaho's water conservation incentive landscape includes a patchwork of utility-run rebate programs, state agency technical assistance efforts, and federally funded agricultural efficiency initiatives that together offer meaningful financial support for both urban and rural water users willing to invest in efficiency upgrades. Several local utility providers in the Treasure Valley offer rebates for converting high-water-use turf to xeriscape landscapes or installing efficient drip irrigation systems.
Our team stays current on available programs and can help you understand which incentives may apply to your project before work begins — so you can make the most of every dollar.
