This is a brand-spanking new install in San Jose. The big idea was succulents with the tagline: The Weirder the Better. We had so much fun doing this garden. No drawing, not even a doodle! We set out on day one with a can of landscape paint with the homeowner and mapped out the bones. Came back with soil and boulders for mounding and contouring...
After the canvas was properly prepared, we brought in the anchor plants: a wickedly cool Acacia, a Cercidium, and a Chilopsis. The rest was a mix of tough native plants and succulents. Set on a backdrop of black mulch and granite, as the plants fill in their colors will pop like fireworks.
And as for the rest of the neighborhood and their lawns, we would love to come back and help you out as well!
