Project Xerofitus Landscape

About Project Xerofitus Landscape

Out past the Turnpike the land goes flat and pale and lets you watch weather coming from twenty miles off, which makes a strong case for planting a yard the way the place actually is. Project Xerofitus Landscape builds on that logic — drought-minded plantings, muhly grass and coontie and gravel beds, with mowing, edging and trimming for the turf that stays. Doral gets eight months of hard sun and four of afternoon downpour, and a yard planned for both stops arguing with the calendar. In October, when the first cool front comes through, the muhly goes pink and smoky across a bed that asked for almost nothing all summer. That is the result the crew wants: a landscape that looks deliberate in every month it has to live through.
