A Water-Wise Approach

Drought-tolerant landscaping uses appropriately selected plants, efficient irrigation, mulch, gravel, stone, and hardscape to reduce unnecessary water consumption while creating an attractive outdoor environment.

Drought-tolerant does not mean maintenance-free or that every plant needs the same amount of water. Plant selection, establishment watering, irrigation zones, exposure, soil conditions, drainage, spacing, and ongoing care still need to be considered.

The right approach depends on the property, the homeowner's preferences, and the level of ongoing maintenance the homeowner is comfortable with.

Design Elements

A drought-tolerant landscape may incorporate:

-California native plants
-Sculptural succulents and agave
-Ornamental grasses
-Decomposed granite pathways
-River rock and decorative gravel
-Mulch for moisture retention
-Efficient drip irrigation
-Permeable hardscape surfaces
-Coordinated patio or seating areas
-Landscape lighting

The combination of plants, ground covers, and hardscape creates a layered, textured landscape that can be both water-efficient and visually striking.

Installation Process

1

Consultation and Design

Colima evaluates the property, discusses aesthetic goals, and helps select the appropriate plant palette and hardscape materials.

2

Demolition and Preparation

Existing water-heavy lawns or materials are removed, grading is addressed, and a well-draining base is prepared.

3

Installation

Drip irrigation, pathways, hardscape, and drought-tolerant plants are installed with attention to the overall design.

4

Finishing and Cleanup

Decorative rock, decomposed granite, or mulch is added, the site is cleaned, and a final walkthrough is conducted.
