In Los Angeles, where drought conditions are a regular challenge, designing a drought-tolerant garden is one of the best decisions you can make. Not only will you conserve precious water, but you’ll also create a beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor space that thrives year-round.
Drought-tolerant landscaping (often called xeriscaping) focuses on:

DG is an affordable, attractive material perfect for walkways, patios, and garden paths. It compacts well and allows water to drain through, reducing runoff.

Gravel is a great alternative to thirsty grass lawns. Plus, decorative rocks like river rock, crushed granite, and lava stones add texture and color to your garden.
Bonus: It’s practically maintenance-free.
Adding mulch around plants helps retain soil moisture, reduces weed growth, and gives your landscaping a finished look.
At Ace, we carry high-quality organic bark mulch that’s perfect for drought-tolerant designs.
Want a green lawn without the water bill? Artificial turf provides the look of lush grass with none of the watering, mowing, or fertilizing.
We carry SunTurf and other premium artificial grasses.
