DESIGN PORTFOLIO
designed & installed summer 2024
Desert garden design: Auburn, CA.
At the heart of our design philosophy is the thoughtful juxtaposition of arid and tropical plants. This juxtaposition creates a striking visual contrast while celebrating the rich biodiversity found in California. From rugged succulents to vibrant tropical foliage, each plant has been carefully chosen to thrive in its specific environment, ensuring longevity and sustainability.
We've sculpted an ever-flowing terrain, creating a sense of movement and fluidity throughout the landscape. Meanwhile, our feature dry river bed adds a touch of natural charm, evoking the rugged beauty of California's arid landscapes. From sun-drenched expanses to tranquil shaded retreats.
