A steep, overgrown hillside was brought back to life as a bold, low-maintenance succulent garden. Removing invasive grasses and weeds made room for drought-tolerant succulents and groundcovers, with the existing terraced walls providing structure throughout the landscape. Gravel mulch creates a clean backdrop for the varied forms, colors, and textures of the plantings while helping conserve water and suppress weeds. The result is a resilient, water-wise garden with year-round interest and a distinctive presence in the neighborhood.Testimonial:

Bay Natives absolutely nailed our front yard landscaping project! Over a year later we are still getting frequent compliments from neighbors and passers-by. We had completely ripped out our front yard during a home improvement project and had it rebuilt as terraces that was essentially a bunch of sandboxes. Wes worked with us using plans and renderings as well as lists of plantings and accents to come up with a design we liked. We collaborated on irrigation and lighting as well to make sure we had the infrastructure planned out in a way that ties everything together. The actual work was efficient and the final product was better than expected. We continue to work with Bay Natives on maintenance and other projects - you (and your neighbors) will love what they do!
