Best Xeriscape (Drought Tolerant) Trees for Landscaping

You can have trees in your Folsom landscape without having to use a ton of water? We are able to help you find the right trees for your landscape design that will survive even the harshest of winters.
Soil and drainage are a huge component in creating a landscape design that works even when you have little to no water. Your soil holds in all the vital nutrients that help your tree survive all year round even when the water isn’t as abundant as you might want.
Apply adequate water when it is available can sustain your trees and plants longer than you might have previously assumed. By giving your landscape the right water when it’s vital and important can help you to keep your trees alive even when there is not water.
Woody plants are a long term asset to your landscape. This means that you get what you give. If you put in the work to make your landscape and trees thrive then you will reap the benefits of a thriving and water efficient backyard.

Many plants are not made to thrive in the harsh California weather and climates. It is important to consider the long term survivability of your landscape before you just plant things randomly. Poor landscape planning can result in hundreds of wasted dollars and thousands of gallons of waste water.
Watering upfront when you first plant a tree will help it establish itself and then you can slowly remove irrigation to a more infrequent measure. This way your landscape will be prepared for this summer and impending city wide water limits
