We planted vegetables from seed so the family could experience the full cycle of growing their own food. The process involved clearing the landscape, sheet mulching, building garden beds, setting up irrigation and planting. Beds were created from materials found on-site. The perimeter is lined with drought-tolerant native plants and culinary herbs.

We used rocks found on-site to create pavers and accent the contours of the yard. Note the picture below to see how the lawn looked previously. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fcb03704426271cb90f67d/1516854518491-0FA3BTEWZF1Q31S4Y5OC/IMG_4652.jpg Smartscapes - Pre-conversion This lawn had gone without irrigation for some time and was particularly dry and dead during the long summer months. This was the perfect canvas for a new landscape and also qualified for a water conservation rebate through a state program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fcb03704426271cb90f67d/1524328291690-8F221SV62YGXVATD55AU/Final3.jpg Smartscapes - Another Lawn Conversion Followed a simple theme as requested by our client. A couple of native huckleberries (Vaccinium ovatum) line the house which will produce food for birds and people. The drought-tolerant Pineapple Guava tree (Feijoa sellowiana) is the centerpiece and will create delicious fruit while becoming a window screen in years to come. The California Lilac (Ceanothus spp.) in the corner will grow to a large bush and its purple blooms match the neighboring rosemary perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fcb03704426271cb90f67d/1524328215304-R85F0QF894BUS89QF7XD/IMG_5488.JPG Smartscapes - Pre-conversion Yes, the grass is greener but only because it is winter. This homeowner knew his weedy front lawn would be turning into a brown, dead mess by mid-summer without constant attention, maintenance and water.
