DFW summers can be relentless. Drought-tolerant landscaping is about designing with plants and materials that stay attractive when water is limited and heat is high.
Strategies that work
- Choose native/adapted plants with proven heat tolerance
- Group plants by water needs (hydrozones)
- Use drip irrigation and smart scheduling
- Improve soil and apply mulch to reduce evaporation
- Limit thirsty turf areas and emphasize beds/hardscape
