This recently installed project features a front and small yard design that incorporates low water use plant material, local materials, and permeable hardscape surfaces. The homeowners wanted to remove a good portion of their unusable turf grass in lieu of decorative stone and low water use plant material. The sideyard pathway emulates a meandering stream which terminates into a dry cascading stream bed featuring locally sourced cobble. The pathway incorporates loose flagstone set in decomposed granite with decorative pebble banding. Not only is this installation method more cost effective than solid flagstone, it also allows water to permeate through. The new planting area was converted to drip irrigation and was eligible for the San Diego Water Authority’s Landscape conversion incentive program and was featured as a low water use demonstration garden for the public.
