Ecoscape Environmental Design
This east facing side patio provides a welcome break from the summer heat. Previously this area was a hot-mess of uneven pavers, rotting landscape timbers, bindweed, cheatgrass, and no outdoor lighting on the pathway. Now it is much safer with the fire-resistant stone closest to the perimeter of the home.

The gently sloping yard is divided into two distinct areas.
We kept a large grassy area for the dogs and to offset the large patio.
Instead of a harsh retaining we used the slope to create a natural stone stream bed that collects rainwater and drains it away from the house.

FormLA Landscaping
Long before the riparian-loving, drought tolerant California native foliage established itself, this rain garden worked to keep stormwater onsite. It takes quite a bit of technology to do so. The bioswale accepts water from the back and front gardens as well as the roof of the home via drains, an underground vessel, and a sump-pump. It can absorb this level of water in a matter of minutes. Because the soil in this area tends toward clay, another drain helps manage possible overflow. Photo: Steve Matloff, 2018
Urban Oasis Landscape Design
We retained the canyon walls and built a patio into the hillside to create an area where you can walk down and enjoy the beautiful canyon views. The hillside is planted predominantly with California natives and will need little irrigation once established. California sunflower peeks out from a bed. Photo by Debbie Gliksman
Accent Landscapes
A unique front walk, a manufactured stone veneer retaining wall, and basalt columns create a one of a kind entry to the home.

The back of the house filters and collects water in 20,000 gallon storage tank set underground. Pictured is a bioswale set to collect and filter rainwater. Native plants include frogfruit and American beautyberry.

H2 XERO Landscape Design
This arid garden photo was taken just after the garden was installed so the plants are still small. Within a year, the shrubs in the background will hide the block perimeter wall and the neighbor's shed. An important part of landscape design is to solve visual problems. We used blue-black Mexican river rock to create the illusion of water in the permeable dry river. We call this style, our lush desert or soft desert design. The color theme is silver foliage or leaves, blue cactus, yellow flowers, blue flowers, accented by a dash of hot mango. Photo by Tina Cremer, H2 XERO Landscape.

The 'Fat Albert' Blue Spruce was used to break up the concrete wall as it grows over time. 'Color Guard' Yucca provide great year-round color.

New garden complete. Pea gravel path leads users through a native plant garden with the essence of a geological feature. The grassland provides year-round interest, attracts birds and pollinators, and functions as a drainage solution, efficiently diverting enormous amounts of runoff away from the home where it had previously pooled after rain showers and spring snowmelts.
