Xeriscape is a type of landscape design that uses low-water-use or drought-tolerant plants that require little to no supplemental irrigation.
Zeroscape is a yard filled predominantly with gravel and dirt containing few or no plants. Xeriscape uses design and planning. Zeroscape lacks design and planning.
Really it’s as simple as digging out 1-2 inches of dirt so the rocks don’t sit up so high.
Digging up the dirt will also dig up some of the weeds that are ready to sprout out and ruin your fresh landscaping.
Then go ahead and lay down some plastic or fabric. Use plastic if you don’t plan on planting plants and use fabric if you plan on planting something. The fabric will allow water and nutrients to absorb into the dirt and get to the plant roots. The plastic will restrict this.
Lastly, lay down the rock! IT’S THAT SIMPLE. Almost as simple as hitting that SUBSCRIBE button!
Thanks for watching my video on how to Xeriscape your Yard!

Very nice, I wish I had watched this before I added landscape fabric under my rock area, as it is now covered in weeds! even with 3 inches of river pebbles in it!
Looks great, Shawn. I like that you take the time to do the extra steps that make things just that much better.
That looks great but I think the plastic might be a mistake, I think water will pool in the stones, I found second hand carpet (the kind with woven back not the foam back) works well to supress weeds when covered with stones or bark chips 👍
Great job love the editing!!!
Great video. That sure does give your yard a nice clean look.
Looks awesome. We have black thumbs and can kill silk plants so we did something similar, but your project looks better. Kind of a zen garden feel. Great video as always.
How do you spell Xeriscaping? I think some people spell it the other way, but I don't know which is which!

Where did you buy that plastic?
I strongly advise against plastic. Non-biodegradable feed the argument of “climate change” and I, for one, feel sick and tired of hearing about it. Hemp-plastic. Also, by removing the weed seeds or applying an herbicide, inhibitors alike, the use of plastic goes away. I spend at least five minutes a day weeding. Otherwise, great work! Looks clean and value xeriscapes because if you want to plant; planting natives means no additional water. 👍🏼
Just putting down rock is hardly xeriscaping, but if that's what you like to look at, good job.
Where is the run off water going to flow to??? You or someone else will be replacing it in a short time.
Looks very good for a weekend warrior!!
ASU!!!
Putting your timber borders right on top of the plastic barrier defeats the purpose of putting sand down to help drainage.
How did you get rid of the excess plastic? Fold it under? Great video btw😊
What kind of rocks did u use? Whats the best price for out door rocks?
That plastic with deteriorate in two years EASILY…use professional uv grade plastic.folks..or professionsl landscape.fabric not big box.crap
.go to a farmers.supply
.
Costs more but worth it.
I like the way you did, but I want to use gravel to improve soil water absortion. They plastic allows water get in to the soil?
does xeriscape work in areas that are relatively humid?
Watching this with my dogs made them go crazy with all the 'kissie sounds' in the music.
hi! did you put anything under the pavers to keep them in place? I've seen some ppl add a little bit of concrete
Good Job. It looks nice. What kind of rocks you used? Rocks here in the bay area cost much more. How many square feet is the finished area? Thanks!!
Thanks for the video. We're wanting do do xeriscape but have no idea where to start. We have an idea
Thanks for showing us how to xeriscape! Can you do a video on manscaping next? It would be conducive to the evolution of the MAN!
What are the desert accent grasses? Desert spoon or blue fesco?
How does it do in rain? I'm thinking with that impermeable plastic it becomes a lake and forces more erosion where its not meant to be? Sorry to sound like a pain… great video though
Where’s the pavers?
I subscribed, I like that it’s low cost and it’s giving me good ideas for my strange space, what they did before I got here looks strange so I need to make it look pleasant!
Best possible intro music
Try using mirafi instead of the cheap stuff you get at Home Depot or other landscaping companies.
Hey there, love the video, where did you get the patio pavers in the beginning of the video/what are the size of the pavers
Might wanna look up the definition of "xeriscaping"… all you did was put in a gravel path
ASU sticker on the truck 👍
I want to make sure I order enough rock. How many pounds per square foot would I need?
Nice mailbox.
This songs kisses are pretty annoying
Great content but definitely not the only video you'll need to watch LOL you forgot the whole point of true xeriscaping and that's…plants haha 😉
Watching hipsters attempting to landscape is a lisping trainwreck.
That IS an award winning smile. Haha! 👍🏼
I thought that xeriscaping was planting native plants that don't need to be watered for a lush garden instead of water hogging grass, not just throwing a bunch of rocks on the ground. I still see plenty of water hogging grass in your video.
Ya bro fabrics and plastics are anti xeriscape
Thank you soooo much for this.
Sweet video just discovered the term Xeriscape but its exactly what ive been wanting to do in my backyard. Do you have any suggestions when it comes to removing the old dead grass? Idk if I should just use a dethatcher or power rake and try to remove as much as I can then continue or try and dig it out completely and start the project on pure dirt.
Can u put the link of the video show how to add paver n rock along the driveway like beginning of this video where u sit n blow the leafs….
Zero scape looks like. That's Not xeriscape. There's a difference
I wouldn't use chemicals to kill the weeds, it is just going to hurt the little ground water we have left and using plastic doesn't let the soil breath, we want what ever rain we get to get into the soil. I am glad so many people are removing lawns and replacing with rock and native plants.
Looks good, but this might be the most arrogant title on youtube.
I was taking a HUGE SHIT while watching this video, so now I'm going to watch a better xeriscaping video… 💩🚽👎
the WOF thanks you for not being a burden while they enjoy the earth to the max.
I really like the edging used.
