Need ideas for low-maintenance xeriscape area in front yard (Denver, CO)
Looking for ideas on what to do with the area in front of my house (circled in red in the photo). It currently has messy crushed granite. My neighbor replaced theirs with river rock, which looks decent and I’m not totally against, but it’s not my favorite—I’d prefer to avoid more rock if possible. Also not interested in astroturf.
I’m going for a xeriscape vibe—low maintenance, drought-tolerant, and ideally no irrigation needed. We’re just outside of Denver, CO, and the rest of our landscaping focuses on native plants and pollinator habitat.
This spot gets full sun in the morning and afternoon and sees no foot traffic at all. I recently used decomposed granite (DG) in some backyard areas, which could work here too, but since this is the front of the house, I’d love something with more visual impact. Not really into using mulch either.
Just putting this out there to see what creative or alternative ideas folks might have—would love to hear what you’d do with a space like this!
