Lawn to Garden, Fremont

A 700-square-foot lawn that died due to drought and water restrictions. This homeowner received a rebate of $1400 from the local water agency.

The lawn is transformed into a garden that provides habitat for birds and pollinators. 

The lawn was covered with cardboard, compost, and mulch, the perfect start to a garden. The thick layers kill any weeds and grass. 

Existing plants were removed, and a dry creek bed was installed along with drip irrigation. 

The garden's first spring.

California wildflowers are much loved by native bees and people!
