The Eichler Landscape & Atrium Guide: Fire-Smart, Water-Wise Gardens Without Losing the Mid-Century Soul
The Eichler Landscape & Atrium Guide: Fire-Smart, Water-Wise Gardens Without Losing the Mid-Century Soul

The right landscape can make an Eichler feel calm, private, architectural, water-wise, fire-smart, and market-ready.

This guide explains how Eichler buyers and sellers can think about landscaping in a way that protects the soul of the home while meeting the realities of modern California living.
