We recently finished a project in Franklin Canyon that was in need of some TLC in the landscape department. The property is on a hillside with some rocky terrain that we had to work around. In order to create a united look, we opted for uniformity in color and chose about five or six different plants that do not need a lot of water and fill in quickly such as bamboo, flax, and sedum ground cover.
The rocky terrain near the front steps allowed us to utilize succulents and river rock to create a zen inspired garden, inviting you to the front door.
Succulents come in a variety of shapes and colors and also do not require a lot of water. They are slightly more expensive than other plants, but also make a dramatic visual impact. To finish off the landscaping, we like to mimic the same look by adding potted succulents in different heights and textures, as shown in this zinc planter.
