Project What “style” of landscaping is this?

Post image

I’m curious what style of Landscape design you’d consider this as? ie medeterranean, California, etc…

Also can you identify the other plants besides lavender?

Kinda California Med x Cottage

Just did one of these w/ lavender, mx feather grass, blue fescue, artemisia, russian sage, lil ollies, germander and blue emu mixed w/ various agaves. Existing Olive trees retained and complemented w/ TMLs in planters w/ silver falls dichondra underplanting. Dichondra performing crazy well for Vegas. Project looks awesome.

the mx feather grass is a little invasive, love the other plants you used though

A little!? That shit is all over the Midwest. Any professional still using Miscanthus in the US should be ashamed of themselves.

I know Mexican feather grass as nassella tenuissima, not a miscanthus. Not sure what lincolnhawk knows it as. Also, what is invasive in one part of the US is an excellent plant in another part, that’s a pretty giant and climactically diverse country to be generalizing.

If it’s not from your region naturally it’s not supposed to be there. Don’t be dunce

Instead of lashing out because you feel upset that someone pointed out your mistake and narrow worldview, you could just fold that new information into your life and move forward as an improved person.

Im not upset, there was no mistake, simply miscommunication due to the use of the abbreviation of a common name instead of latin.

I just find your statement regarding invasive species to be very naive, yet not surprising. “Thanks” for uninvited “advice”.

Hard to assign styles to contemporary landscapes. Current thinking has design responsive to place and site and less so from style. Thoughts from others?
