This is an earth-friendly landscape in the full sense of the word. The hardscape elements are environmentally friendly, recycled and/or recyclable.

The landscape is “Good for You and Good for Our Planet.”

Designed II... has accepted the challenge of facing severe water restrictions by creating a garden lush with greenery, and dripping with juicy wetness. The design quenches our visual thirst, by richly incorporating an exciting and dynamic plant palette, largely of succulents and carefully selected other plants, that love the water when it comes, but can endure months without. Even the water feature loses less water for its area than transpiration by the average lawn.

In this deceptive waterwise garden you will look and feel like the tropics but save water as though you are in the desert. So enjoy the lush and beautiful foliage with confidence and ease of mind.
