Hillside yards, sloped backyards and thirsty front lawns. We design water-wise landscapes that hold soil, handle the heat and help you plan around turf rebate rules.
Our office is on N Tustin St in Orange, a short drive from Anaheim Hills. Many homes here sit on slopes or back up to open hillsides, which brings its own challenges: runoff, erosion, hot afternoon sun and spray sprinklers that waste water down the hill.
We design yards that work with the slope instead of against it: deep-rooted natives and low shrubs to help hold soil, mulch, natural boulders, dry riverbeds that slow winter rain, and drip irrigation that waters the roots instead of the sidewalk. Near open space, we keep plant choices and spacing sensible for a hillside setting.
We look at slope, sun, soil and drainage, and talk about how you want to use the space.
If you're replacing lawn, we find your water provider's current turf rebate and help with pre-approval first.
Plants picked for your slope and exposure, rain capture, paths and a drip plan.
Lawn removal, grading, drip, planting, mulch and stone, done by our own licensed crew.
It depends on how steep the slope is, how much sun it gets and the soil. Deep-rooted natives and low shrubs that hold soil, with mulch and drip irrigation, usually work well. We pick plants for your specific slope during the yard visit.
Turf rebates depend on which water provider serves your address. We look up your provider and the current program during your consultation. Most programs require approval before any grass is removed.
Yes. Drip is often the best choice on slopes because it puts water at the roots slowly, which cuts runoff and erosion compared with spray sprinklers.
In most Orange County programs, no. Rebates generally require living, water-wise plants.
