Pacific Grove, CA - OFG Install

• Description:
  This project is located in Pacific Grove, CA which is a coastal community. There are significant runoff issues as the street is on a grade of at least 25%. The key to designing this area of the garden was to capture the runoff from the property into a swale, slow the water down and utilize it for the plants rather than send it to the ocean. California native plants and mulch were used throughout. Point source drip irrigation was implemented with adjustable drippers at the base of each plant. Irrigation was used for the first year and has not been turned on again. No turf was used on the property. As one can see, the plants are thriving.
