At the corner of the driveway among accents of rock grow mixed plantings of native aster, grass, sage, and Manzanita pictured here at the time of installation.

The new border is seeded with wildflowers and plantings that include Yarrow and Iris douglasiana "Canyon Snow".

The path is set in sand and Connecticut blue flagstone. One step was added for for the slight grade.

After a little grading and setting some rock, this corner strip in Mountain View is waiting for native plantings and a small stone path.
