7 xeriscaping mistakes to avoid when making your yard drought resilient

Xeriscaped garden design.

Opting for a xeriscaping project to conserve water is a big endeavor, and it's easy to make mistakes especially if you're tackling this on your own. Get it right and you'll conserve water as well as create the yard of your dreams. But if things go wrong you could end up seriously underwhelmed by your new design, as well as having to pay out to put things right.

From neglecting to plan your new xeriscaped design properly to choosing the wrong landscaping materials, plants or irrigation system, simple mistakes can easily add up and in the worst scenario will detract from your enjoyment of your new outdoor space. You certainly don't want to end up with a barren look that's a million miles away from what you originally envisaged.
