In Sacramento’s hot, dry climate, drought-tolerant landscaping is not just a trend—it’s a necessity. At Cheryl Wiegand Landscape Design, we specialize in creating beautiful, sustainable landscapes that thrive with minimal water. Our drought-tolerant designs combine the beauty of native and low-water plants with smart irrigation systems and eco-friendly practices, resulting in a garden that’s both environmentally responsible and visually stunning.

The foundation of any drought-tolerant landscape is the selection of appropriate plants. We carefully choose a variety of native and low-water plants that are well-suited to Sacramento’s climate. These plants not only conserve water but also support local ecosystems, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. From vibrant succulents to hardy grasses and flowering perennials, we design plantings that are both resilient and beautiful.
An efficient irrigation system is key to maintaining a drought-tolerant landscape. We design and install advanced irrigation systems that deliver water directly to the roots of your plants, minimizing waste and ensuring that every drop counts. Options include drip irrigation, smart controllers, and rain sensors, all of which help reduce water usage while keeping your garden lush and healthy.
Incorporating hardscaping and mulching into your landscape is another effective way to conserve water. We use materials like gravel, decomposed granite, and permeable pavers to create pathways, patios, and seating areas that require little to no water. Mulching around plants helps retain moisture in the soil, reduces evaporation, and prevents weeds, all of which contribute to a more water-efficient garden.
Maximize water efficiency by capturing and utilizing rainwater with rain gardens and bioswales. These features are designed to collect and filter rainwater, allowing it to soak into the ground rather than run off. This not only conserves water but also helps prevent erosion and improves the health of your soil. We design rain gardens and bioswales that are both functional and attractive, integrating them seamlessly into your overall landscape design.
Drought-tolerant landscaping doesn’t mean sacrificing beauty. We believe in creating landscapes that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are sustainable. Our designs incorporate a variety of textures, colors, and forms to create visual interest and harmony. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a more naturalistic garden, we’ll design a drought-tolerant landscape that reflects your style while being kind to the environment.
