Reimagine Your Landscape: Contemporary Design
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.
Reimagine Your Landscape: English-Style Design
The waterwise English-style landscape is inspired by a place to relax and admire nature. Incorporate groups of fragrant flowers, planted among brick or cobblestone paths, small groupings of trees, and seating to admire the birdbaths or small ponds. Accent with English-style creative containers.
Reimagine Your Landscape: Native-Inspired Design
The waterwise California native-inspired garden offers long seasons of bloom, with plants acclimated to our Mediterranean climate. Complete the design with whimsical pottery, and cozy chairs to observe the flurry of pollinators drawn by their favorite flowers.
