Xeriscape and turf combo design blends drought-tolerant rock, gravel, and desert plantings with turf in the spots where you actually want usable green space. Peoria Artificial Turf Pros lays out these combo yards so turf and xeriscape zones transition cleanly instead of looking like two separate projects stitched together.
This service suits homeowners converting a water-heavy yard into something lower-maintenance while keeping a usable lawn area for kids, pets, or relaxing. A free estimate includes a layout discussion for where turf and xeriscape zones should sit.
