We have been working with California's native plants for 5 years, in restoration as well as residential landscaping. Apiana landscaping provides the customer with new, ecologically-sustainable landscape practices utilizing California's gorgeous native plants, which need about 1/4 of the water a conventional landscape will need. California is in a huge drought at this time. Knowing this, why not put plants from the area which are drought-tolerant. Native gardens are beautiful, educational, and bring in beneficial insects, bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. We design and install yards with decomposed granite paths, boulders, groundcovers, shrubs, trees, succulents, mulch and plenty of love! Your yard/space, once planted with natives, will never stop blooming year round, will naturalize to only need one big watering per month to only winter rain.
