Learn More About Xeriscaping In Bryan, Texas

How much does xeriscaping cost?

On average, a xeriscaping project for around 1500 square feet, including walkways, garden beds, rock, and flagstone, typically costs around $10,000. For larger projects covering the entire backyard, the cost may range from $20,000 to $30,000.

How fast can you complete a xeriscaping project?

For an average-sized xeriscaping project, we can complete the installation within a week. Larger spaces may require up to two weeks to ensure every detail is meticulously handled. Rest assured, we work diligently to bring your vision to life without compromising on quality.

Do you need to remove grass before xeriscaping?

Yes, removing existing vegetation, including grass, is a crucial step in the xeriscaping process. Thorough removal reduces the potential for weeds to grow underneath the weed barrier fabric.

For projects like a flagstone walkway, we take the preparation a step further by removing the grass and around 3-4 inches of soil. This ensures a well-compacted subgrade before the installation of the walkway materials, resulting in a long-lasting and stable feature.

What are the best plants and materials for xeriscaping?

We recommend using natural stone and rock as primary materials for your xeriscape landscape. These elements not only lend a timeless and organic appeal but also provide excellent durability and resilience against the local climate.

In terms of xeriscape plants, some of the most common plants we use Red Yucca, Agave, Daylily, Flax Lily, Pink Muhly Grass, Texas Sage, Lantana, Esperanza, Liriope, Succulents, Prickly Pear Cactus, and more.

How do you stop weeds in xeriscape?

To combat weeds, we employ a multi-faceted approach. We start by laying weed barrier fabric, preventing spore germination from neighboring lawns when mowed.

While the fabric significantly reduces weed growth, it’s essential to acknowledge that some weed control is still required. Our team applies targeted sprays as needed, ensuring a weed-free and immaculate xeriscape landscape.

How much water does a xeriscape landscape need?

While xeriscaping significantly reduces water usage compared to traditional lawns, it’s essential to maintain consistent moisture levels in the soil to protect your home’s foundation.

We advise homeowners to irrigate their xeriscape properties as if they had a grass lawn, especially in regions like ours with clay soils that can shrink when dry.

Proper irrigation ensures a healthy foundation and minimizes the risk of structural issues. Our expertise in dirt work allows us to implement targeted irrigation solutions, focusing on the soil around the foundation.

Some Of The Clients We Helped Say

Aimee Ravichandran

★★★★★ 5/5

Such a wonderful experience working with Trevor and Chelsi. They were both very responsive and their crew were very professional and really knew what they were doing.

We had bad grading in our backyard. Trevor came right out and helped bring our backyard back to what we dreamt it could be.

His crew did incredible workmanship in a quick manner. Trevor personally called me after the job was done to check to make sure we were happy and that everything went as planned.

Having that level of personal care to me is one of the best qualities a business can have. I highly recommend contacting them for any of your outdoor construction projects.

Sam Spinkc

★★★★★ 5/5

After receiving multiple bids and receiving input from various companies, we went with Aggieland Dirt Works to lay St Augustine sod in our yard.

Dylan and team did a great job of communicating from the time they gave us their bid until after the work was completed.

Dylan came back out after the install and rolled the sod to ensure it was rooting correctly.

We couldn’t be happier with their work and their excellent customer service! I highly recommend this team!

Jason Drouilhet

★★★★★ 5/5

I cannot recommend Aggieland Dirt Works enough!

They came to our rescue when we needed to grade and clear our property as well as lay sod.

They also connected us with an irrigation company to install sprinklers.

Great, prompt service and will definitely be calling them again when we have another project they can help with. Thank you!
