This garden was installed about a year ago. The premise was to create a rain garden by having a dry creek bed and using California natives to attract the local wildlife. We also wanted not to take away from the existing materials that the client had and wanted to keep. As you will see in the video the gravel we added matches the existing gravel.
This is the original video I made about the project.
This is the updated video of the project as the plants have matured more.
When you are renovating your garden, there are many things that you need to consider. From how you intend to use the space and how much room you actually have, there are lots of considerations that need to be made. Conversely there are things that you need to avoid.
In this video I share with you the 7 design mistakes to avoid when renovating your garden. These mistakes are just things to consider. The main point is that you need to understand the garden you are renovating. Also understanding what plants you are putting in the garden is key.
I love going back to gardens that I have designed and seeing how they look many months or years after they have been installed. In this case the project is a minimalistic design that also uses palm springs gold decomposed granite from South West Boulder and Stone as the mulch. This color of dg mimics the look of beach sand.
This is the original video that I made about the project.
This is the updated video of what the garden looks like 2 years later.
