Design and Installation
This project was in Woodland, CA in a new development. The soil was completely trashed by construction workers. By adding an enormous amount of compost we were able to nurture it back to health. The small space was limiting but we were still able to install lagstone pathways and patio, a veggie garden in the south facing corner (not pictured), drip irrigation system, perennial plants and herbs along the fencing as well as fruit trees and berries and a very small amount of turf for the kids and dogs. The north facing corner is planted in shade tolerant plants and trees like the Japanese maple.
"The more connections we make between the elements of the landscape on which we depend to meet our primary needs, the more sustainable that landscape becomes. " (Hamilton, 1993: 38)
