Mediterranean Xeriscape Garden

A California Country home which proves that you can have a beautiful front yard, without the maintenance hassle and water consumption of the classic American lawn. This ‘Xeriscape’ garden incorporates this homeowners’ love of both Mexico and the Mediterranean, using drought tolerant plants which are native to both climates. The fruitless European Olive trees, ‘Tequila Plant’ Agaves, Mexican Sages, and Spanish Lavender compliment one another beautifully.

Travertine from the home’s interior is extended to the front porch and courtyard, transitioning to casual garden paths of mottled Old World pavers and a meandering path of Gold Fines from a local quarry. Sculpting of the planting spaces between street and front door create an intriguing garden space.
