Leavenworth homeowners often ask what is xeriscaping best defined as, and how it applies to a climate that shares much with the rest of the Kansas City metro but has its own particular soil and terrain patterns near the Missouri River. Xeriscaping is fundamentally about matching plant selection and design to your actual site conditions, and for Leavenworth properties, this means prioritizing native prairie grasses and Missouri native garden species proven to handle the area's clay soils and humid summers.
