Naturally Beautiful Rock Garden

Rock garden landscaping offers attractive, natural landscaping that is in low maintenance. Traditional European rock landscaping mimic the scree of mountain habitats and include principally alpine plants.

The natural California environment affords a much broader interpretation. Adaptation to limited seasonal rainfall creates opportunity to showcase exceptional plants with a beautiful rock background. The drought tolerant specimens are not only attractive but blend well together.

This dry stream bed/dry creek includes graceful curves and multiple rock sizes for natural look. The curves create a shortened perspective which makes the small front yard look larger.

Plants used in rock garden include agaves, aloes, aeoniums, kangaroo paw, torch bougainvillea, dwarf bottlebrush, fairy duster, senecios, and other drought tolerant plants.
