Pacheco, CA ADU
This was a garden designed and built for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) at my private residence. We designed and built the ADU ourselves. The landscape design featured a dry creek for stormwater management, and a patio area for seating and a fire pit. Plants were selected from California Natives and Mediterranean species for their drought-tolerance and wildlife support features. A custom drip irrigation system and a low-voltage lighting system were also installed.
