Projects ~ Materials
Using materials that create the least impact on the environment is an important principle of sustainable landscaping. Recycled materials, found objects and local, natural materials can greatly enhance a landscape. They should not be thought of as cheap substitutes. If they work, let's use them.

 

:: MATERIALS: RECYCLED / FOUND OBJECT / NATURAL

Dry-stack wall from boulders found on site; buried turtle pond/trough found on site; cobble mulch from local riverbed.
Patio structure made from fallen Monterey cypress tree, locally milled, rough texture by hand adze.
Used brick, a perennial favorite, can add instant character.
