Dry creek bed to aid in water run-off and drainage. Both aesthetically pleasing and practical as it works as a walkway between the two putting greens.

This landscape is part of a family home and needed a pick-me-up, starting from design phase and including deck reconfiguration. Design included addressing drainage issues, creating pathways, lawn areas, plantings and dry creek beds. Optimized for children, pets and... fairies! Zoomworks Photography

This small drought tolerant front yard is now the envy of the neighborhood. Resting on the street corner it gives those who drive by something pretty and functional to look at. The drought tolerant native plants require much less water and care than non natives. There is also a dry creek bed that allows for functional water flow.

Courtyard landscaping utilizing container gardens, pergola with planter, re-purposed gate as a trellis for vines, dry creek bed for gutter water running off of rain chains. Seasonal color, unique textures, low maintenance, relaxing.

This garden was not only designed to create access from the street to the front of the house, but also designed to be a minimal maintenance garden. The dry creek bed makes great use of what mother native can give us. The California native plants require little care, are green year round and thrive beautifully in this climate. There is also an energy efficient irrigation and lighting system. You can watch a video of this garden here... https://youtu.be/We0BF9gapt0
