Reimagine Your Landscape: Contemporary Design
The Contemporary Landscape
The waterwise contemporary gardens have a minimalist style, using structural plants to set the tone. Smooth stone, sleek pottery, and furniture with clean lines add the final touches. Complete your design with a geometric fountain.

Irrigation Methods
- Use drip irrigation where possible.
- Place trees on a separate valve with soakers or bubblers to allow for deep, infrequent watering.
- Hydrozone: group plants together that have the same water needs.
- Install MP Rotator nozzles to improve efficiency when watering lawns.
- Use a timer with a weather sensor to water only when needed.
- Mulch with a 3” layer to reduce evaporation up to 70% and to control weeds.
