Design notes

Rustic landscaping works with native and drought-tolerant plants, limestone boulders, decomposed granite paths and wildflower drifts. It looks lush with far less water and maintenance.

What to look for

  • Three layers: canopy, shrubs, groundcover
  • How hardscape and planting share the edges
  • Plants suited to the climate, not just the photo
