Project

Robert & Elaine wanted to do something about their high-maintenance, water-thirsty front lawn. A co-worker suggested xeriscaping with succulents and they became after learning how these water-wise, low-maintenance plants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Ultimately, they did the project themselves once their landscaper became unavailable. It was a daunting challenge, but with the help of family they simply took it one day at a time and soon their vision became a reality. It was quite a project, but they love what was accomplished.
