I know that in both new homes here the foundation plantings were plants that easily survived here locally. I love the way they do that.

A swimming pool holds a LOT of water, I wonder how folks who conserve water feel about that. We just put one in. The evaporation daily is signicant.

T and D saved all of our foundation plants in the corner of our yard and replanted them after the pool was finished. I was so pleased.
