The Driveway Xeriscape
Project type
Design and Install, Maintenance
Location
Portland, OR
Located in Northwest Portland, this large planting replaced long overgrown shrubs, which had been detracting from the curb appeal of this beautiful home. The owners wanted a low-water garden that offered year-round blooms, some screening from traffic at the below intersection, and unusual foliage colors.
We chose a xeriscaping approach that features plants native to areas like California and South Africa, which require less water while still offering dramatic blooms. We also included a small crevice garden to manage erosion and runoff, while also creating a focal point that leads guests up the driveway to the house.
