Hi Brad,

Thanks for reaching out to us about Xeriscaping.

CSU Extension also has a lot of information and publications about Xeriscaping on this webpage: https://cmg.extension.colostate.edu/gardening-resources/online-garden-publications/water-wise-landscaping-xeriscaping/

Plant Select has a variety of free water wise landscape designs that you can download. https://plantselect.org/design/downloadable-designs/

Resource Central is another great entity that offers various "Garden in a Box" selections where you get all the plants and a plant-by-number design map. map.https://resourcecentral.org/gardens/

If you are looking to hire a landscape professional for your xeriscape project, the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado has a great website where you can find companies that have landscape industry certified employees: https://www.alcc.com/find-a-pro-residential

We would need more information from you to help you with your xeriscape planning. For example, are you removing turf grass and installing xeric plants? Or are you wanting a native grass lawn instead of a rose garden? Please feel free to call our Master Gardener Help Desk and one of us would be happy to help you with your specific questions about xeriscape planning. If you have pictures of the area you are xeriscaping, you can send us some pictures with more specifics of what you are wanting to do and/or change.
