Photo - Butterfly on Lantana

Lantana is a great plant for attracting butterflies.  This drought tolerant plant is also rabbit resistant due to the slight toxicity of the foliage (don't use in back yards with small kids or dogs).  Lantana comes in a wide variety of colors. 'Confetti' and 'New Gold' are my favorite and are pictured above.

Photo - Raised Patio

This backyard had a tricky 4' elevation change to deal with.  By using Country Manor Keystone walls, I created a terraced patio with planters.  The patio was formed with Stone Top Pavers from RCP Block & Brick.  The landscape was built by Green Gardens Landscape Construction.  Photo by Doug Kalal, taken at a client's residence in La Jolla.
