    This document discusses low-maintenance landscaping solutions for intermountain regions that face challenges like temperature extremes, drying winds, and inconsistent water availability. It recommends using windbreaks, xeriscaping with native plants, and soil amendments to conserve water. Xeriscaping involves planting strategies that require no additional watering beyond what occurs naturally, and can use drip irrigation. Native plants are suitable as they tolerate the temperature range and drought, prevent erosion, and need little maintenance.
