Practical Parkway

Rather than watering turfgrass in the parkway, this homeowner created more visual interest by including low water shrubs and perennials with wood mulch. A stepping stone pathway surrounded by crushed gravel (breeze) defines the plant beds, provides a place to walk, and reduces the landscape’s water need.
