I shared a couple of weeks ago that I was working on landscaping and hiding my AC & pool equipment. I’m almost done but I wanted to share some of my inspiration on how to create paths and landscape with drought tolerant plants.
Since I live in California and I’m reminded every day were in a drought, finding the appropriate plants is a must. Plus you want your landscape to look appealing, so here are some ideas:

Enjoy!
Love your garden ideas! I’m in Australia, it seems the climate is similar so drought tolerant plants are the best. I have all Australian native plants in my front garden, the birds love the blossoms and I love the banksias!
Hey, I’m in Montana, zone 3/4, mostly 3. We are extremely cold in the winter and very hot and dry in the summer. I created a Dry River bed in a location that will get full Sun ALL day long. I need drought tolerant, rabbit and deer resistant plants, perennial is a must. Any suggestions?
Hi there, could you tell me what the large green succulent is in photo of the garden beside the steps leading up to a double door? It looks stunning and like a giant variety of succulent? Thanks
Sorry, I’m not sure the exact name.
Those are aeonium. Very drought tolerant. Lush in winter and in summer if not in high heat/strong sun location. Many varieties, my favorite is variegated “Sunburst”..
It must be some type of giant echeveria
It’s a large aeonium. They come in lots of color and size variations. Aeonium grow like weeds where I live (near Santa Barbara, CA). We have about 50 of them.
How big are the square stones in the stone pathway with the black rocks surrounding it? And where can you get them?
I have a narrow planter that gets full sun that divides my home from the neighbors with a cement wall. I would like to find drought tolerant, wall climbing plants that are pool friendly that don’t drop flowers or leaves into the pool. Are there such plants? I live in Santa Clarita Ca.
Love your pictures of drought tolerant landscape. The design is wonderful. I am wanting to switch out my lawns to plantings. So many of the images I have looked at today were really lacking the design element. Over crowded and messy. thanks for sharing.
My husband are I are older and have bad backs, so we had a landscape architect design and put together a rock path in our front and back yard. It was well worth the money, but now my daughter needs help doing one in the yard for her new home in Arizona. I’m going to send her your blog post because it has great ideas. Thank you!
