Drought-Tolerant Backyard Planting

Drought-tolerant landscaping is a practical option for Palos Verdes homeowners who want a beautiful backyard without relying on high-water plants.

Depending on the property, we can incorporate California native plants, drought-tolerant shrubs, ground cover, and other low-maintenance options into new or existing planting areas.
