Landscape Design | Las Campanas Parkside Drive Entrance

Using native, water-wise plants and shrubs, The RainCatcher created colorful and sustainable medians to welcome homeowners and guests at the entrances of the Las Campanas subdivision.

This landscape design drawing shows an overview of the planned plant placement with details on the types of plants, shrubs and trees and how they would contribute color and texture to the medians.

To guide the rainwater as it enters the median, stone-lined channels transport the water to irrigate the plantings around the median. The stones prevent erosion and the gravel provides an attractive, maintenance-free ground cover.

Rock walls provide staggered heights and terraces to add interest to an otherwise standard median. The diverse types of plantings, ranging from flowering plants and bushes to trees and desert succulents are all water-wise varieties.

One Rock Dams, Zuni Bowls and rock staircases capture rainwater as high as possible and channel the water further below to irrigate the plantings. These structures prevent erosion and direct the rainwater to where it's needed.

Unobtrusive, yet naturally and rustically beautiful, these rock channels guide the rainwater towards plants, trees and shrubs and protect the soil from damaging erosion.

The water-wise landscape design for the medians incorporate texture, color and various shapes and heights to bring a pleasing aesthetic to the entrances. Capturing rainwater for irrigation decreased the amount of potable water needed.

The RainCatcher is proud to be at the forefront of intelligent and sustainable landscape design, using native water-wise plants and passive rainwater capture and irrigation. And with no need to sacrifice natural beauty!

As each year passes and the dryland/native plantings become more established, their need for water diminishes in their new ecosystem. These beautiful medians create biodiverse habitats that attract wildlife and pollinators and conserve water.
