Drought-Tolerant Landscaping Ideas

Cole Valley Retreat
Cole Valley Retreat
Xeric OasisXeric Oasis
Our Cole Valley clients have lived in their Edwardian home for many years, and have a large garden with established trees, they were looking for a redefinition and reorganization in their outdoor living space. We developed three distinct areas for them to explore, relax and entertain. Contrasting color, movement and texture, and repeating patterns throughout unify the garden’s relaxed turn of the century cottage style. Starting with a shady fern garden anchored by two Garrya elliptica, a decomposed granite path meanders through a garden full of strong, architectural forms of Mangaves, Agaves, Phormiums and grasses. Dry stone walls of varying heights along the path lead to an enclosed third garden with a larger seating area, bathed in sun and rich with hues of burgundy, maroon, and shades of pink and chocolate.

Close up of same front yard bed - Monarda magenta and Coneflower pinks, with a touch of rusty orange and yellow daylilies. Even a few Queen Ann's Lace pop up here in white. Note the density - the cure for weed free gardening. This bed has gone untouched for 4 years before any maintenance was required.

To anchor a modern house, designed by Frederick Fisher & Partners, Campion Walker brought in a mature oak grove that at first frames the home and then invites the visitor to explore the grounds including an intimate culinary garden and stone fruit orchard. The neglected hillside on the back of the property once overgrown with ivy was transformed into a California native oak woodland, with under-planting of ceanothus and manzanitas. We used recycled water to create a dramatic water feature cut directly into the limestone entranceway framed by a cacti and succulent garden.
