We also replaced the sprinklers in this part of the yard. These are early photos of the bare hill.
We engaged professional help to plan and install the new garden. We had several people give us plans and bids, and we decided on a plan which cost more, but was much more comprehensive. They were also the people who installed the garden.
The required elements of our plan:
- All perennials, small trees and shrubs
- Use existing rocks
- Moderately Xeric-when established will need moderate amount of watering
- Part of the garden faces the western sun and plants need to be sunloving
- Another part of the garden is in the shade of our house, and plants here need to tolerate some shade
- Plants need to help stop hillside erosion
- Plants were chosen which had great blooms and/or varied colored foliage, and were planned for year round color and interest
