682 Douglas Ave. Oxnard

Description

This large front yard went from tired Bermuda lawn and overgrown shrubs to a colorful habitat garden. A dry streambed runs though the center of the landscape and captures water flowing off the roof (since the house doesn't have gutters). By running different drip irrigation zones, the home owner was able to keep her roses and some subtropicals near the house, while the rest of the garden is populated with CA native and other drought-tolerant plants.
