Zero-Scaping

Zero-scaping is a minimalist approach to landscaping that focuses on creating a low-maintenance, water-efficient garden by using minimal vegetation, typically drought-tolerant plants, and extensive use of hardscapes such as gravel, rocks, and pavers. Unlike xeriscaping, which still incorporates a variety of plants, zero-scaping often emphasizes the reduction of plant material to the bare essentials, relying on stones, sculptures, and other non-plant elements to create a visually appealing design. This approach is ideal for areas with extreme drought conditions or where minimal maintenance is desired. Zero-scaping reduces water usage, eliminates the need for mowing and weeding, and creates a durable landscape that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. It is a practical choice for sustainable landscaping in regions where traditional gardens are difficult to maintain.
