XERISCAPE · BEND, OREGON · 2024
Xeriscape is one of the best investments a Bend homeowner can make — reducing water bills, eliminating weekly mowing, and creating a landscape that looks beautiful year-round with minimal care. Here's a detailed breakdown of what xeriscape costs in Central Oregon.
| Project Scope | Typical Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Front yard (1,000 sq ft) | $8,000–$20,000 | Turf removal, plants, rock, drip |
| Back yard (2,000 sq ft) | $15,000–$35,000 | Full xeriscape conversion |
| Full property | $25,000–$60,000+ | Design + all materials + irrigation |
| Partial conversion (beds only) | $3,000–$10,000 | Planting beds, no turf removal |
The upfront cost of xeriscape is higher than a simple lawn renovation, but the long-term savings are significant. Most Bend homeowners see outdoor water use drop by 50–70% after a xeriscape conversion — saving $600–$1,500 per year.
Combined with lower maintenance costs (no weekly mowing, minimal fertilization) and potential turf rebates from local water utilities, the payback period is typically 3–5 years.
PRO TIP
Apply for the City of Bend's turf replacement rebate before starting your project. Rebates of $0.50–$1.00 per square foot can offset $500–$2,000 of your project cost.
