Going green sometimes means giving up a bit of green--as in the expanses of manicured emerald lawn we have all come to accept as the standard of the house-proud. Join Kevin and learn how to achieve curb appeal without wasting precious water resources or using harmful chemicals.This episode covers natural irrigation with rainwater catchment systems, drought-resistant plant selection, edible fruits and foliage that do double duty as ornament and food source, and even how to design a low-maintenance rock garden. Equally important is the planning phase, which should happen even before you break ground--by planning ahead, Kevin was able to set aside and preserve rich topsoil from the building site, to use later in getting his garden jump started.

i live in calgary and used handyman landscaping, they built me a beautiful water feature, rock garden, retaining walls and even put a custom built deck and fence up for me. i highly recommend handyman landscaping for any alberta residents as they also have a location in edmonton. handymanlandscaping dot come is their website with tons of great project pictures.

This video was so great. I loved the opening and the water conservation efforts go with what we are doing here in Nashville Tn. We have a drought every summer. Great video

search up native hawaiian plants, majority are very drought tolerant, and are very beautiful, a plant such as a'ali'i will add hospitality and provide a warm tropical feel, jus like here in Hawaii.

Can anyone say...Phoenix? How about concrete? Heat convection? "We" are encouraged NOT to have lawns, but gravel. I havent seen gravel on the plains of the southwest desert. Its the water use concern. So on 'we' go pushing the rain clouds away with more patches of heat radiating materials...whats the solution in the city? 1.) Shut up. 2.) Suck it up. The more people are packed together, the more problems. Solution? Too little, too late.

that's my advise for you too, is to search the area for wild plants ..but make sure you can match the soil quality

If not i alredy plan this summer to search around the mountains for plants that will stand for my burning 130 F front yard. I got bamboo from the wild to harvest in the near future to build things with.
