This document provides low-maintenance landscaping solutions for intermountain regions facing challenges like temperature extremes, short growing seasons, winds, and drought or deluge. It recommends windbreaks, xeriscaping with native plants, soil amendment, and drip irrigation to conserve water. Xeriscaping uses planting strategies that require no additional watering beyond natural precipitation. Native plants are suitable as they tolerate the temperature range and drought, prevent erosion, and support the local ecosystem with little maintenance needed.
