Many people confuse xeriscaping with "zero-scaping." While both of these landscapes use less water than the traditional, turf-dominated approach, they are totally different in appearance and appeal.
 Xeriscaping is lush and beautiful. Zero-scaping tends to be hot and less interesting.
 Xeriscaping uses a wide variety of water-efficient plants to creat an oasis-like feeling. Zero-scaping uses lots of rocks and usually a juniper or yucca.
 Xeriscaping makes an area colorful and inviting. For New Mexico, it's a water-smart and attractive way to landscape.
