Unique Aspects
This urban backyard was designed to be a hassle-free retreat. The design incorporates a combination of decomposed granite and brick pathways, a variety of low-maintenance and drought-resistant plants, and a persimmon tree. This approach is cost-effective, reduces water usage, and does not need frequent mowing like a traditional lawn. After heavy use the decomposed granite may need a little raking to smooth it back out and every few years it will need replenishing as some of the rock works its way into the soil.
