Kimberly's Yard
Prepared by The Garden Nerd
Kimberly, this is your updated planting plan. The areas are the same ones we walked, but the planting style is different. Instead of long runs of one plant and a clean, clipped look, every area is now layered: taller plants in the back, medium in the middle, low flowers and grasses up front, with three or four different plants repeating in a loose pattern. There's a lot of purple woven through the whole yard. It's all desert adapted, it's planted dense, and the result is a lush, natural yard with height, texture, and something blooming in every season.
Your sissoo trees, the rosemary, the fountain, the existing honeysuckle and ruellia, and the new trees all stay part of the plan. Below is each area with what goes where, then the full pricing at the end.
Front Yard
Front Entry, Along the Walkway
Right up against the house on both sides of the walkway, and wrapping around the west corner once the door there comes out. This becomes a layered entry bed with height against the house and color stepping down to the walkway. There's a lot of purple in this mix, which really pops against the white walls, with pink, red, and yellow mixed in.
Against the house: pink muhly grass, desert lavender, and Mexican bush sage, rotating, for height, silver foliage, and movement.
Middle: autumn sage, penstemon, Baja ruellia, and Greg's mistflower in loose groups of two or three, mixed up so no two of the same sit side by side.
Walkway edge: trailing lantana in purple spilling toward the path, with lilac verbena and angelita daisy tucked in between.
Pink Muhly Grass
Soft, fine-textured grass that turns into a cloud of pink plumes every fall. Adds movement and catches the light beautifully.

Low, spreading lantana with purple flower clusters almost all year. Butterflies love it, and it spills nicely over edges.
5 × 5 galLilac Verbena
Mounding verbena with clusters of lilac-purple flowers spring through fall. Butterflies are on it constantly.
4 × 5 gal
Angelita Daisy
Small mound of fine leaves with little yellow daisies almost all year. Fills the front edge and the gaps.
4 × 5 gal44 plants (all 5 gallon)
West Side Yard (Sissoo Trees and Rosemary Bed)
The established rosemary stays. It's happy and already gives this bed some structure. Around it, we add a taller layer so the bed has real dimension under the sissoo trees, plus a mix of ground covers for color in every season.
Tall accents: desert milkweed and firecracker plant scattered through the bed, with globe mallow and lavender globe mallow in between.
Ground layer: bush morning glory (white), sunrise emu (yellow), desert marigold (yellow), trailing indigo bush (purple), and desert verbena (purple) drifting together and weaving around the rosemary.
Desert Milkweed
Native milkweed with tall, upright gray green stems and creamy flowers. A host plant for monarch butterflies and a great vertical accent.
5 × 5 gal
Firecracker Plant
Upright stems with bright red tubular flowers that hummingbirds love. A different, linear texture next to rounded shrubs.

The lavender-flowered form of our native globe mallow. Same toughness and spring show, in a color most people have never seen on a mallow.
3 × 5 gal

4 × 5 gal36 plants (all 5 gallon)
Street Side, Between the Sissoo Trees
This is the front of the house and the first thing you see pulling in, so this is where we make a statement. Instead of one plant running between the two sissoo trees, this becomes a big, mixed border built around grasses. Tall grasses give it height and movement, and flowering shrubs in purple, pink, orange, and yellow fill in around them so there's color in every season.
Anchors: a Texas mountain laurel at each end, near the sissoo trees, for evergreen structure and purple spring flowers.
Back row, rotating: bamboo muhly, desert lavender, deer grass, red bird of paradise, coral fountain grass, repeat.
Middle: pink fairy duster, Cleveland sage, and globe mallow in groups between the grasses.
Street edge: trailing lantana (purple), purple heart, and angelita daisy (yellow) alternating along the front.
Texas Mountain Laurel
Evergreen small tree with glossy leaves and big clusters of purple flowers in early spring that smell like grape soda. Slow growing and very tough. The seeds are toxic, so keep that in mind with pets.
2 × 15 gal
Bamboo Muhly
Tall, airy grass with fine, feathery leaves on bamboo-like stems. Moves with every breeze and adds height without bulk.
3 × 5 galDesert Lavender
Native shrub with silvery, fragrant leaves and spikes of small purple flowers. Gets 5 to 6 feet with a soft, airy shape, and bees love it.

Coral Fountain Grass
Soft, arching grass with coral-tinted plumes. Adds movement and a different texture next to the flowering shrubs.
4 × 5 gal
Pink Fairy Duster
Native low shrub with soft pink puffball flowers in spring. Delicate texture and a nice break from the reds and oranges.
3 × 5 galCleveland Sage
Gray green, very fragrant leaves with whorls of lavender-purple flowers in spring. Brush past it and the whole area smells like sage.
3 × 5 galGlobe Mallow
Native perennial with apricot orange cup flowers in spring. Fast, tough, and reseeds a little, which helps the natural look.

3 × 5 galAngelita Daisy
Small mound of fine leaves with little yellow daisies almost all year. Fills the front edge and the gaps.
4 × 5 gal2 Texas mountain laurel (15 gallon), 35 shrubs, grasses, and ground covers (5 gallon)
Fountain Area
Lush and layered rather than a single low ring. Three spaces to plant: the ground around the fountain, the retaining wall ring, and the four pots on the wall. Grasses and pollinator plants around the water will bring hummingbirds, butterflies, and movement right to the fountain.
In the ground around the fountain: pink muhly, Mexican bush sage, and penstemon for height, autumn sage, Greg's mistflower, Baja ruellia, and pink fairy duster in the middle, and angelita daisy, lilac verbena, purple heart, and trailing indigo bush filling the front.
Retaining wall ring: autumn sage and trailing lantana alternating, with trailing rosemary planted at the edge so it drapes over the wall.
The four pots: red yucca in two, Greg's mistflower in the other two, alternating around the ring.
Pink Muhly Grass
Soft, fine-textured grass that turns into a cloud of pink plumes every fall. Adds movement and catches the light beautifully.

Either Side of the Front Walkway
A desert willow stands in the middle of each bed. In place of the privet, each bed gets a matching mix around the tree, so the two sides balance without looking clipped and formal.
Each bed: a dark purple desert willow (Bubba or Burgundy) in the center, deep violet Texas sage and Baja fairy duster around it for medium height, pink muhly and penstemon tucked between them, Baja ruellia for purple, and trailing lantana around the outer edge.
Desert Willow (Bubba or Burgundy)
Small native tree. Bubba and Burgundy are the dark purple-burgundy flowering varieties, blooming all summer and loved by hummingbirds. Light, airy shade.
2 × 15 gal

East of the Driveway, Near the House
The thornless mesquite still goes here for shade and balance. Underneath it we add a loose planting so the tree isn't just sitting in bare rock.
Under the canopy: brittlebush and turpentine bush for structure, with globe mallow and desert marigold drifting between them, all kept a few feet off the trunk.
Thornless Mesquite
Fast growing shade tree with dappled shade and no thorns. Balances the front yard once it fills in.
1 × 15 gal

3 × 5 gal1 thornless mesquite (15 gallon), 12 understory plants (5 gallon)
East Side Yard
The ironwood goes in where the old tree was. A small planting around it ties it into the yard.
Around the ironwood: green feathery senna for height, chuparosa for winter color, penstemon for spring, and desert honeysuckle for summer and fall, so something is always flowering.
Ironwood
Beautiful, long living native tree with lavender spring flowers. A great anchor for this side of the yard.

Backyard
East Fence Line
This long stretch still needs privacy and color. Instead of 50 of the same plant, four different tall plants rotate in the same pattern the whole way down the fence. It reads as one consistent screen from end to end, but up close you get different greens, textures, and flowers, and if one plant ever struggles, it doesn't leave a hole in a solid hedge.
One row along the fence, about every 5 feet: orange jubilee, Arizona rosewood, hopseed, twisted myrtle, repeat the full length. Nothing planted in front.
Orange Jubilee
Fast growing with big clusters of orange trumpet flowers spring through fall. Hummingbirds even nest in it.
10 × 5 gal
Arizona Rosewood
Native evergreen with dark green leaves. Dense and tall, a solid screen.
10 × 5 gal
Hopseed
Fast evergreen with narrow bright green leaves. Tall and full, a lighter green than the rosewood.
10 × 5 gal
Twisted Myrtle
Evergreen with small glossy, slightly twisted leaves and fragrant white flowers. Dense and refined, a darker green than hopseed.
10 × 5 gal40 plants (all 5 gallon)
Some of the old hopseed stumps along this line will need to come out before we plant. That removal isn't part of this quote. See What's Not Included below.
Grass Border Infill
The ruellia that's alive stays. Instead of filling the dead gaps with more of the same, we mix in new plants so the border looks fuller and more varied.
In the gaps: autumn sage, Baja ruellia, purple heart, angelita daisy, desert marigold, and trailing lantana, mixed so no two of the same sit side by side.
Autumn Sage
Small shrub covered in red, pink, or white flowers spring and fall. A hummingbird magnet and easy to tuck in anywhere.

Northwest of the Grass Area
This spot still needs a large shade tree for afternoon relief. The tipu tree stays: it looks a lot like your sissoo trees out front, and it grows fast.
Tipu Tree
Fast growing shade tree that looks a lot like your sissoo trees, with yellow flowers in late spring.
1 × 15 gal1 tipu tree (15 gallon)
Bench Area
The existing honeysuckle stays and forms the U. We fill it out with taller, mixed plants to turn it into a little hidden garden, a private nook surrounded by flowers, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Filling the U: desert milkweed and coral fountain grass for height in the back, desert honeysuckle, chuparosa, and firecracker plant in the middle, with penstemon, Mexican bush sage, and Greg's mistflower tucked in toward the bench.

Scattered Color, Backyard Open Space
This one should feel random and organic. Instead of single plants dotted around, we plant small drifts of three or four mixed together, so color and height pop up here and there as you move through the yard.
Each drift: one taller plant (brittlebush, pink muhly, or deer grass) with two or three lower ones (globe mallow, lavender globe mallow, desert verbena, desert marigold, angelita daisy, bush morning glory) around it. Mix up the combinations so no two drifts look the same.

How we plant
Every plant goes in with native soil as backfill and a little compost in the hole. Then compost on top of the soil and mulch over the compost, not worked in, with mulch kept back from the trunk of every tree. Each new tree gets a water well with mulch instead of rock. Dense, layered plantings like these shade the soil, hold moisture, and fill in fast.
Fertilizing
With this many new plantings and the citrus grove already established, I want that grove getting proper nutrition every month. This is a standalone monthly program just for the fruit and citrus trees: liquid organic feeding every month and compost through the year, building the soil life that feeds the roots.
Pricing
Pricing is fully installed, plant material plus planting labor combined into one price per item. 5 gallon plants run $30 material plus $55 labor, and 15 gallon trees run $150 material plus $150 labor. Any single plant at 20 or more in the 5 gallon size gets our 10% bulk labor discount (marked with an asterisk).
