Xeriscape California native plants, lower maintenance needs, and local natural beauty drove the redesign of this property located on the San Francisco Bay side with salt air and wind influences.
Highlights: Prior to installation, all areas sheet-mulched with cardboard and woodchips for six months to reduce weed seed bank. Design featured mounded planting beds, rock gardens, permeable pathways with driftwood, piling and Corten steel edging, and geologist's stones and artifacts. Garden benches arranged for views to Bay and migrating birds. Additional potted plants on existing large deck attract many butterflies and other beneficial insects.
Irrigation: Drip.
Native plants of interest: Pacific Reedgrass, Hairy Honeysuckle, Golden Currant.
Landscape Contractor (installation and maintenance): Tao Landscaping
