River-Friendly Landscaping

River-Friendly Landscaping is a holistic approach to landscaping that works with nature to reduce waste, prevent pollution, and support the integrity of one of California's key ecosystems, the Sacramento River watershed. A well-designed and maintained River-Friendly landscape can cost less in the long run by consuming fewer resources.
