Dry Creek Bed
Dry creek infiltration basin
An alternative to a front yard lawn. This planting is created around a dry creek bed which doubles as a functioning infiltration basin collecting roof water runoff. The excavated soil is graded into mounds to give the Mediterranean and California native plants the extra drainage they desire.
This photo shows the project 4 months after installation. You can see the concept drawing for this project here.
