Landscaping that fits a dry valley
Summers here run hot with very little rain, and most lots sit on sandy or rocky ground that drains fast. A yard planned for wetter climates burns out by August. We plan grading, soil amendment, and water delivery together so the plants you pay for get what they need without running a meter all season.
That usually means grouping plants by water demand, keeping turf where it is actually used, and putting gravel, bark, or drought-tolerant beds where it is not. It is a practical way to keep a yard green without fighting the climate every year.
