Natural Drought Tolerant Garden

While remodeling their home new hardscape features were designed and installed by the general contractor’s firm but unexpected delays left the property unfinished. Kathryn Rue was retained to complete the designing of all of the garden spaces, including landscape lighting, and advise on the color selection of the re-plastering of the pool. Much to the client’s delight Kathryn helped them select a colorful, natural and drought tolerant plant pallet that attracts a multitude of butterflies and hummingbirds. The subterranean irrigation system keeps excess water away from the stucco on their house/new paving and reduces their watering bill while being the best long term watering system for their natural garden style. The professionally designed and installed low voltage lighting system expands the sense of space and usability of their outdoor room experiences at night and artfully accents the beauty of the garden’s plantings especially as they are reflected in the pond appearance of the swimming pool.
