Xeriscaping vs Traditional Landscaping: What’s the Difference?

A traditional landscape often relies heavily on turf grass and frequent irrigation. Xeriscaping focuses on selecting plants and landscape materials that are better suited to Colorado’s naturally dry climate.

Traditional Landscaping

Xeriscaping

Larger turf areas

Reduced high-water turf

More frequent watering

More efficient water use

Regular mowing

Less mowing required

Standard ornamental plants

Native and drought-tolerant plants

Higher ongoing maintenance

Lower long-term maintenance potential

Xeriscaping does not mean creating a dry or colorless yard. With the right design, your landscape can still include greenery, seasonal color, shade, texture, and comfortable outdoor living areas.

Joey S.

I am extremely pleased with my recent new yard install in Lakewood, CO. completed by Helm Gardeners and Landscaping. Keith, Caroline, Martin, Drew and the rest of the crew were a pleasure to deal with. The scope of work was from original design to completion. Helm Gardeners personnel were very receptive to my ideas and blended them with their ideas resulting in a very favorable result. Keith Helm personally picked out the growing stock and reviewed it with me at his supplier. Prior to delivery Keith inspected it again and was on site for the installation of twelve trees. The project was completed in a timely workmanlike fashion according to the contract. After completion Helm personnel have frequented the site to make sure everything is in order and up to their standard of work. I am very satisfied with body of work provided by Helm Gardeners and Landscaping.

Helm Gardeners and Landscapers are the best gardeners and landscapers I have ever used. I am a Denver native, and they are heads and shoulders above anyone else I have ever had working on my landscaping. The crews that are sent out are knowledgeable and very professional. Whether it is maintenance or planting new stock, they know what they are doing and do it very well. Keith Helm is a big help in planning what the next step in my yard should be. Caroline checks in at regular intervals, no matter whether the project is big or small. She also does beautiful window boxes. I can recommend Helm Gardeners and Landscapers to anyone. They are a pleasure to work with.

I used Helm Gardeners last year for my gardening and lawn maintenance. I am planning already to use them this year for a much larger project- I’m very excited about, and already budgeting for a similar project in the Spring of 2021. Needless to say, I think they are wonderful, professional, and capable. My initial comment when they did my spring clean up last year was, “It looks as though my yard has been washed”.

We used Helm to re-do our entire side yard. Every single person we came into contact with who was working on this project was extremely professional and had excellent attention to detail. You can really see the passion they have for their projects shine through! They gave us great guidance and the end result is beautiful. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for a landscaping company!

Helm Gardeners have been working with me for 14 years. That alone tells you that they are great! I have a large garden area and it is always fun to have them working in my garden. They either bring everything I ask for and plant, or plant what I purchase myself. Keith Helm and family know their plants and shrubs and make wonderful suggestions when I am not sure what I want. Everyone that works for Helm Gardeners has tons of energy and are always very pleasant. They built a large raised vegetable garden of rock, which came out lovely. My garden is exceptional to look at, all my neighbors love to walk by my house and comment how beautiful it is. The garden is maintained perfectly as well by Helm Gardeners.

As a busy working professional with 2 young children, I don’t have the time to give my yard the TLC I would like. I contacted Helm Gardeners and Landscaping last summer for their help with my flower pots and garden bed. This was the best choice I have made. I was absolutely thrilled with the quality of their work and their creativity! My yard and flower pots are stunning and they made the whole process so seamless. Every member of their crew was so kind and sweet and just a joy to be around. I 100% recommend Helm Gardeners and Landscaping! I’m looking so forward to having them back this summer to help me again. Thank-you all so very much

Keith and the entire Helm Gardener family has been an absolute dream to work with. We started with a landscaped yard but absolutely no plants. My sister and I love our flowers and brought in Keith to advise on what we could do. Keith was quick to respond and came out for a visit. We determined a retaining wall would give us the flower bed we were looking for and some bushes at the corner would help tie it all together. The crew was fast and completed the entire job in 3 days. They added a retaining wall where there once was rock, brought our clean out drains up so they can still be accessed, filled with soil and mulch, tapped into the drip lines we had in the yard so we don’t have to water, and then added in all of the flowers. I am in shock at how beautiful the wall turned out and the flowers are the icing on an already iced cake. Thank you Helm Gardeners! We look forward to next year working with the crew on our backyard.
