We did a complete front yard transformation at a residence on Foothill Road-- lawn to a native and succulent garden with DG as the hardscape wherever there aren't mulch basins or plants. We did this project in two workshops (earthworks and planting) and it was such a complete make over we called the workshops A New Paradigm One and Two. Here are the photos that show the process and the results.
The last two photos show how the landscape looked six months after the project was completed.
