California’s ongoing relationship with drought has significantly shaped landscape design trends. While San Francisco benefits from cooler coastal weather compared to inland regions, water conservation remains a central theme. Xeriscaping, permeable paving, and drought-tolerant plant palettes have become staples across the Francisco landscape. Plants such as lavender, manzanita, agave, and ornamental grasses now feature prominently in residential and commercial projects. These not only conserve water but also add textural richness and year-round appeal.
