Greywater
If you are on the municipal grid, this is water you have already purchased. Why not reuse it?
About Bay Maples
Alan Hackler created Bay Maples Wild California Gardens to address the divide between California’s ongoing water needs and the human desire to live in harmony with a well-maintained and beautiful landscape. Bay Maples creates low-impact, water-saving gardens through the use of native plants, recycled or repurposed materials, and irrigation strategies involving greywater and rainwater catchment. At Bay Maples, we take pride in crafting truly unique designs, which you will find both aesthetically pleasing and cost effective.
“There is no lack of water here unless you try to establish a city where no city should be.”
– Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness

Sustainable Backyard Makeover
This project had everything from flagstone walkways and a sweet fire pit to Corten Steel raised beds and a killer water feature. As expected we also planted drought-tolerant native plants, created swales for rainwater and built a bench from salvaged wood. We had a blast designing and creating this backyard makeover. Hope you enjoy the video tour!
