    I live in southern Arizona. For those not familiar, landscaping here can be a challenge, and is sometimes done a bit differently than in other places, like where they have access to water every year, year-round.

    Today, I was driving about in my personal vehicle for an essential element of my employment. I noticed another vehicle being driven as part of employment. This vehicle had a professionally printed magnetic banner affixed down the side, advertising landscaping services. One of the services this company apparently provides is “Zeroscape.”

    SMH.

    Xerascaping is a thing done here, due to the aforementioned lack of water.

    I have no idea what “Zeroscape” might be. Unless the printing company and/or the landscaping company have no idea about spelling Xerascaping, nor access to a computer or dictionary.

    It's actually pretty clever. It's often pronounced "zeroscape" and I wouldn't be surprised if that's a common google search term. He might have the zeroscape market cornered and not have any competitors that offer zeroscape services
    Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.

    Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?

    Okay, now that makes some sense. Gravel yards with some bushes and ornamental trees are a very common choice, too. Had no idea there was a term for it.

    People say 'zeroscape' in Florida and we don't do that here. However, xeriscaping is promoted because we're sucking the life out of the aquifers. I thought those that say zeroscape are just morons, which is a pretty safe bet given that we have so many of them.
