Drought-tolerant succulents and colorful annuals are intermixed with a hand-selected assortment of hardwoods that offer much interest and acknowledgment of sustainability year-round. The driveway and pathways were designed from locally sourced stones as permeable pavers for aesthetics and best practices for rainwater management. Not only do these pavers alleviate runoff, but they also benefit the local ecology. Addressing the challenges presented by an uneven site was one of the major obstacles overcome in this particular . Grading and terracing as solutions ensured adequate drainage and accessibility.
