As a core part of our Luxury Xeriscaping practice, this discipline is where the craft becomes specific — the techniques, materials, and tolerances that separate generational work from passable work.

Most landscape failures — settled patios, rotted decks, cracked walls, dying plants — trace back to a single root cause: water in the wrong place.

We design drainage as a system before any other element goes in. The visible landscape rests on an invisible network of pipes, swales, and grade transitions.

Sacramento Valley storm events are intensifying. We size pipes and swales for current rainfall maxima, not 1980s data, and we daylight every line where possible.
