Three Sycamores
Installation September 2023
Project Scope
These clients applied for the LADWP turf rebate on their own before reaching out to us for help with design and planting. They were looking for a native garden that could help them reduce their water bill, be used as a play space for their newborn and provide some shade.
Client priorities:
some grassy space for their child and small dog
shade
pollinator species and birds
