Drought tolerant landscape — San Rafael, Marin
Plants and Lawns
Plants set the mood of your landscape. We choose plants carefully, so your landscape not only grows, but flourishes. We consider where there’s light and where there’s not, and group plants with similar water and drainage requirements, or sun and shade requirements, together. We like to give plants the garden of their dreams.
Plants can also be used as tools — screening off unsightly views, or framing a beautiful view. We can put fragrant plants by a front door, kitchen window or patio — areas that are used a lot, where you can enjoy the special fragrance of blooms.
We can use plants as design elements, showing off their color, form, or texture. We often design gardens based on plant material — from a native garden where everything is sort of “wild,” which could attract butterflies and hummingbirds; or we may suggest a more formal effect — an orderly prim garden.
