Project

When Melanie moved into her home 30 years ago, the landscape consisted of a large lawn and several pine trees. However, she wanted a more water wise garden that would require minimal maintenance while still maintaining her home’s curb appeal. She started incorporating succulents throughout the property in the late ’90’s, and recently undertook a complete landscape transformation. The new attractive landscape has resulted in significant water savings for Melanie.
