That's why some of our xeriscapes don't use mulch—it's easier for native bees to dig their homes in bare ground. Solitary bees dig single holes while sweat bees tend to dig holes for their colony. Our bumblebees tend to reuse vacant small critter holes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754673806095-RRUXDYRIRDIMDTJ8P9VS/Honey+Bees+Herzfeld.jpeg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754673918645-W27FL4R942ZK4E9KDUFP/native+bees+on+Ech.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754674156050-LNG6IX6ZFYIL5S509FG9/native+bee+on+Oneth.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754674240698-HQ96COVPOSSAM0C1MS3P/Native+Bee+hole2.jpeg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754674892032-CM0OBPVVOH0G0YSH6V6D/Blister+Beetle+on+Dusty+Maiden.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755278074139-Y38EOCZJ27MJ888AX7T4/Black+Flower+Beetle.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755278093529-ALQE6SYOFGRPXLW72AGH/Yellow+Checkered+Flower+Beetle.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755279049164-83SNTYO2BBXB1ZKV5HTC/Bee+Fly+2.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754675787775-N90PSLJVNQ3AZP7NBN4G/Thread+Wasted+Wasp%2C+blk+and+red+-+Copy+%282%29.JPG Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755277653628-0QHKSIL4LVGCRBWNB8XR/Pollen+Wasp.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755279172183-KY5UPKAML06UV7LIEKZP/Red+Tailed+Spider+Wasp.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754675292015-42R3INRR733T81OHT2SF/Butterfly+A.+Whited.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755277703903-ASMWCG5RUJW1L0YUDHLD/Butterfly+Phyciodes+pulchella+%28Field+Crescent%29+2.JPG Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755277799368-28HJKMO9LUKCC6GHVJI2/butterfly%2C+blue.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755279278359-2VD24YSMPLEL4J2X4Z6A/Swallowtail.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1754675673897-CQKUKHKZYY627R4H5SJJ/Wasp%2C+Moth+%282%29.jpeg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755277546083-LQ4M94GHJU7JB3Z56WYO/Apantesis+phyllira+%28Phyllira+Tiger+Moth%29.JPG Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755279519605-R61BPLC596K2W2MX3AW9/Sphinx+Moth.jpg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1755279732917-1U0QL1R9J5TC5161OF6P/Hatched+out+Moth+from+greenhouse.jpeg Pollinators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516744605022-HKIB7YHW6CL9HI3Z9CHI/Hummingbird+Plants+Collage.png Pollinators - Hummingbirds, anyone?

Upon further inspection, we found that something had been living in the stem, but had since left. In consulting with an entomologist, it's most likely that an adult moth chewed the hole and laid eggs while the grass was still green, so the caterpillar fed on and grew while the grasses were still growing, without permanent damage to the plant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516399216345-Z19UPOY8B9O452JEG5WU/20170401_200512.jpg Little Neighbors - Grass Stem Inhabitant At another property, we found a caterpillar exiting the stem of a Great Basin Wild Rye.

For the first year, we simply put down cardboard and a heavy layer of mulch to keep the weeds at bay until the clients could budget the money for this project. Their idea was to create a mini-forest in this area, which would be difficult to do here xerically. However, we changed up the forest to be a bristlecone and pinon pine forest, which will have much lower water needs. Trees were planted in the fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516132153267-WAPPK70HL126E6V05L9E/Turner+2nd+year.JPG Residential-Bench YEAR 2 The client's budget allowed for some hardscaping and contouring.

The clients wanted shade for the southern side of this building, yet we had a very narrow bed to work in. The native hackberry, which grows in the foothills, needs only the rainfall that we receive, so it's super tough! The above picture shows the trees filled in, providing valuable shade in the summer. In winter, they drop their leaves and let the sun warm the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1515793860938-Z39G5ZLG77QYPWIWZ2TJ/100_2934.JPG Commercial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1515792921703-F1R3RNYOCHC4YYFS0ODF/100_1165.JPG Commercial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1515793013689-CBN0L6ETJ2B8POBY80DI/100_2863.JPG Commercial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1515793799639-LJLMWLLWG7SSA889JMF6/100_2938.JPG Commercial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1515795267082-G3948MQ7SQKD5RWT3MXI/100_2862.JPG Commercial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1515794893925-FK46ATFLK5AWF8ZPDQ0X/100_2940.JPG Commercial https://www.xericgardening.com/diy-2 daily 0.75 2018-01-12 https://www.xericgardening.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/edb5290a-1c9c-4ccf-8aed-a3b301732e3e/XERIC1_2.webp Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516045240467-PF7EBMZPKI8VNMTQJXXE/About+Us+page.jpg Home Xeric Gardening was started in 2009 in Boise, Idaho, by Peggy Faith, who has been in the horticulture field for 30 years. We have been designing, installing, and maintaining gardens with lower water needs for residential and commercial clients in the Treasure Valley. We also do consultations. We install xeric lawns, but do not do lawn care. We can advise your lawn care provider in the care of xeric lawns. Most of our hardscaping is done by other contractors, but we are happy to help in the design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516048121143-WD9LTUZT07A9Q0H0MVC2/About+Us+Page.jpg Home The term "xeric" was coined in the 1980s in Colorado. The word comes from the Greek xeros, meaning "dry". Xeriscaping is using plants that need less water to create beautiful gardens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516818050172-ADMY7WHOV8I500IQI23L/About+us+page.jpg Home We use mostly plants native to the U.S., but also non-native, non-invasive plants from other arid regions.

This client wanted something low which could be stepped on occasionally and survive. We planted Woolly Thyme and a couple of Fescue grasses for some height, expecting the Thyme to completely cover this area eventually. The gravel is meant to cover the bare earth to prevent tracking mud while the Thyme is growing in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516815801893-8A0VF3IDPI6QA848QU3U/Oppenheimer+Hell+Strip.jpg Rock Gardens/Hell Strips In this example, the hell strips have bigger permanent gravel and taller plants. There is only occasional parking here, so taller plants won't be obstacles. Brick pathways have been installed to channel the foot traffic. The best way to keep the gravel pathways looking good is to use a blower regularly. Plants in this hell strip include Sulfur Buckwheat, Rabbitbrush, Great Basin Wild Rye, Yarrow, and Penstemon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516816648339-6A0P6P8I6IXLRMYAOIME/Modern+Hell+Strip+1.JPG Rock Gardens/Hell Strips This commercial building had a south-facing hell strip and a wall, which increased the oven effect, but made it possible to put in taller shrubs, too.

Wood mulch helps with two things: smothering weeds and helping the soil retain its moisture. Note: Take care when raking leaves out of beds to not also rake out the mulch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516818665403-PO640OSN2FUDLCPHCMEF/Lull+Mulch.JPG Mulch Choices - Sand Mulch Sand mulch has a really beautiful soft look. This sand mulch was put on top of weed barrier cloth. It's important to keep the sand free of leaf litter and debris with regular raking or lightly blowing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516819165550-4WTP5CCEV92WTS4OOUKT/Oppenheimer+Gravel+Mulch.jpg Mulch Choices - Gravel Mulch Gravel mulch can be installed on weed barrier cloth or not. At least two inches is recommended. The texture of gravel helps fill the negative space between the plants. Note: To keep gravel looking its best, it's important to regularly blow the duff and leaf litter out. If left in, the litter will break down, creating soil, and over time, will cover the gravel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516819821328-KK2GQW3MV3U8J30PCXL9/Oppenheimer+Moss+Mulch.JPG Mulch Choices - Bare Ground/Moss This client chose not to mulch at all. Eventually, native mosses will move in and form a beautiful green crust, helping to keep weed seeds out. Note: When weeding as the moss is getting established, it's important not to cultivate the soil too much. This will uproot the moss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a53e1b42278e7e117637152/1516821384108-DCNH4E1S6Q3VUB8Z86PO/Mixed+Media+Mulch+Collage.png Mulch Choices - Mixed Media Mulch Don't feel constrained to one solid style of mulch.
