Eco Minded Solutions Provides Environmentally
Sensitive Landscaping Options During Historic
Drought
1888 PressRelease - Eco Minded Solutions, known
for their innovation in landscaping design and
construction, has focused their business on
providing environmentally sensitive planting
options while during the historic drought that is
affecting Southern California. San Diego, Calif.
- In the last few days, the good news has been
that there has been a little rain in the southern
California area. The bad news is that the
drought, of historic proportions, is projected to
continue for the months to come. "At Eco Minded
Solutions, we know that change is something we
have to deal with on a daily basis. Making
changes to our landscaping solutions to respond
to the arid climate we are currently living in is
just something we do," said Josh Rosenthal,
President of Eco Minded Solutions. While a few
years ago, many homeowners wanted to see the
greenest yards possible, that trend has changed.
"What we are seeing now is clients who want the
same beautiful yard, but one that doesn't need a
ton of watering. We have developed specific
strategies to work with homeowners to create
lovely landscaping that is drought tolerant,"
said Rosenthal.
Some of best plant options for dealing with the
drought include identifying plant materials that
are native to the area and that stay compact.
Tree varieties such as the Carolina Laurel and
the African Sumac both need very little water and
are eye catching specimens. Shrubs that work well
in dry areas include agave, dymondia and salvias.
For added color in drought touched areas, the
California Lilac and California Poppy are
excellent examples of native plants that thrive
in low water areas.

"The way we work with clients has changed with
the dryer climate," said Rosenthal. "Because we
are a company that is focused on
environmentally-friendly landscaping and
construction, we have done a lot of research as
to what will benefit the area during a historic
drought, like the one we are having now. Believe
it or not, our homeowners are finding that there
are many, many options that are beautiful, low
maintenance, low water options. While the drought
is challenging, we can still achieve an amazing
outdoor result." Despite the challenges of
dealing with very little water, Eco Minded
Solutions has discovered ways to keep their
client's landscapes blooming. By using low water
requirement plants and those trees and shrubs
that are native to Southern California, yards are
still benefiting from unique landscaping
treatments. For more information on Eco Minded
