Drought tolerant planting and rock in a Northern Nevada yard

Structure carries the cold months

A yard only looks bare in winter if it is designed badly. Evergreens, ornamental grasses that hold their shape, and the rock and hardscape give the yard structure from November through March.

Mix, do not just cover

We mix drought tolerant plants, ground cover, rock and hardscape so the yard has color, structure and something to look at in every season. You choose how much green you keep.
