Designing a water wise landscape is much more than just throwing a few ‘low water’ plants and switching out your irrigation to drip.
We must create healthy soil for the foundation of a beautiful landscape. We need to find ways to capture and hold onto rainwater. Our plant choices and groupings minimize maintenance and encourage nature’s protective workforce. In doing these things we create a sustainable landscape that feeds the soul.
