The Solution:
Plantings for Color and Contrast
The mow-strip blends into the boulder to make a transition to the railroad tie
retaining wall around an elevated planter near the creek bed.
Flowers and green plants are carried down from the planter into part of the creek bed
to add additional color and contrast.
Underground drip irrigation keep all the plants healthy, even in the most severe
summers.
Ease of maintenance was an important factor in the selection of plants and materials.
