Ecotype: Steppe/Shrubland
For: xeric zones, FireSmart perimeters, low-water properties
Aesthetic: High-desert elegance, textural minimalism
The Desert Edge ecotype focuses on year-round structure, sculptural planting form and high-clarity spatial design.
It combines Alpine/Subalpine and Rock Garden systems, emphasizing evergreen persistence and architectural silhouette.
The planting plan includes over 15 different plant species such as Pinus contorta (dwarf), Juniperus communis var. montana, Arctostaphylos columbiana, Mahonia nervosa and Sedum spathulifolium to create a layered composition of texture and massing.
This is not seasonal planting—it is structural landscape design. Ideal for modern estates, it provides winter presence, spatial definition and long-term form stability.
The Architectural Evergreen Alpine system prioritizes structure over seasonality. Using alpine and rock garden species, it creates sculptural, evergreen landscapes designed for year-round clarity.
Landscape as architecture.
