About Me
Transforming the exterior of my own home, both front yard and back, into a beautiful drought-tolerant garden was a life-changing experience for me. There’s nothing like waking up and being surrounded by the dynamic, constantly evolving beauty of a living, breathing garden to enhance your quality of life.
I love helping others discover this experience and derive that same joy. And it’s especially gratifying to help people who think creating such a garden – one that works in harmony with the native environment – is too difficult or too expensive, because it doesn’t have to be either.
If your goals are more practical – to simply cut down on water usage and water bills, or to increase the value of your property, without spending excessive time and money doing it – I can make it all happen, with beautiful results.
What I Do
I'll manage your landscape project from start-to-finish. You’ll benefit from my network of experienced, highly-skilled contractors, so you only need to make one call and deal with one contact, not handfuls.
Whether you’re a hands-on do-it-yourselfer, or someone who wants to choose among options and leave the installation to the project manager (me), or anything in between, I’ll supply the level of service that works for you and your lifestyle.
I provide counsel, referrals, and oversee any or all these elements of the process:
· Landscape design and plant selection
· Turf removal
· Soil mix and contouring
· Rain capture
· Irrigation upgrade to drip system
· Plant purchase and delivery
· Planting and mulching
· Hardscape installation
· How to maintain your new drought-tolerant landscape
· Extras: Vegetable gardens, gray water systems, pergolas/gazebos
