272 Dawlish Place – Drought Tolerant, Low Water Use Landscape

Overview

A remodel and expansion of a 1940’s era home and landscape at 271 Dawlish Place, this project has attained LEED Platinum Certification and offers some impressive water usage features.

Grey water from home use is 99 percent of the water used for the landscape. A cistern to store collected rainwater can potentially collect and store thousands of gallons. Pervious materials are used in the hardscapes and pathways. underground storm infiltrators recharge the water table, by capturing 100 percent of the runoff in up to a 1 inch storm.

This property is a true example of a fully realized ‘Green Home.’ The approach to water management is worthy of praise!

With the home offering a crisp white contrasting backdrop to the green drought tolerant plantings and golden pathways, this drought tolerant low water use landscape is a true “winner,” embodying a new aesthetic of comfort, security, and balance. Topped off with mountain views, it’s a study in sustainable living.
