Xeriscaping & Turf in Flower Mound, TX

Xeriscaping & Turf for Flower Mound Homes

Xeriscaping fits Flower Mound well. Summers run long and hot, late summer drought is normal, and the Town assigns two watering days a week by address. A well-planned xeriscape is not a bare gravel yard. It mixes native and adapted plants, mulch, stone and some lawn where it is actually used, so the property still looks green and upscale. On Wellington and Bridlewood streets, plans should fit HOA front-yard guidelines.

Plant choices lean on what thrives here: yaupon holly, Texas sage, Turk's cap, salvia greggii, lantana, muhly grass, little bluestem, Mexican feathergrass, coneflower and black-eyed Susan, with desert willow and Mexican buckeye as small trees. Many of these echo the native prairie still found at The Mound. Rock landscaping with river rock, boulders and decomposed granite paths frames the beds, and steel or stone edging keeps everything crisp. Invasive Chinese privet, nandina and Japanese honeysuckle are often pulled out during the conversion, and deer near greenbelts tend to pass over many of the tougher natives.

Artificial turf suits dog runs, side yards, shady spots where grass fails and play areas. Good installs start with excavation, a compacted base and drainage so rain soaks through instead of puddling on clay subsoil. Light infill and lighter turf colors help with summer heat. Drip irrigation keeps new beds alive with far less water and can run any day. Call to plan a water-wise yard.
