Written by Jimmy-Owner of Jimmy’s Diner

I was fortunate enough to have Swan Drought Tolerant Technologies provide their landscape services for our new restaurant complex. Swan was selected by Duran Construction and the Landscape Architect from a list of many possible landscape contractors. Swan was chosen because of their past experience working with drought tolerant plants.

After looking through a plant pallet, we decided to do a Mediterranean style drought tolerant landscape. I was very happy with the final results. I really love the Lavendula with white flowers of the Rosa Iceberg, and the Purple Shrubs that flower almost all year long. The combo of California native plants and Mediterranean plants has been a hit around here with all the customers. The landscape includes plant material that has a variety of colors and textures, combined with the proper scale that makes it all work.

By working with the landscape architect and Swan, we were able to achieve the look we wanted. I have had a good experience working with Swan on this project. I was very pleased that Forest Hill and the Swan team were able to bring the Mediterranean style landscape, together with the architectural design. I am very happy with the over all results of the landscape and would be more than happy to recommend Swan DTT for any landscape project, especially to people looking for a low maintenance and low water usage landscape.
