There's an olive grove to the left for playing pétanque. The raised beds are both dividers and seat walls. The pool and lawn area for play are the only moderate water use areas on the site, and the pool has an automatic cover to limit evaporation. The rest of the garden uses California native plants mixed with water-saving Mediterranean species to keep the water bill reasonable. Contained hedge bamboo rises behind the pool to create a privacy screen and block views to adjacent homes. Photo 6 of 9 in Contemporary Outdoor Spaces by Luciole Design inc.
