Grangettos afterAn Industrial Strength Facelift at
Grangetto’s Farm and Garden Supply in Escondido


We’d like to share with you one of our landscape transformations from 2009...

Our friend and business associate, Kevin Grangetto, approached us as he began thinking about a new look for his store in Escondido. We assured Kevin we could help him with a Water-wise Without the Compromise® landscape that would cover all bases. We began by suggesting a more pleasing color scheme for the building itself with a less industrial, more welcoming appearance—a backdrop, so to speak, for the new landscape with subtle, yet inviting colors.

After transforming the building with its new paint job, we focused on a design including roses, grasses, perennials, succulents and some accent trees blended in waves and groupings that produced a very pleasing presentation. Our selections combined variations of textures and colors using both flowers and foliage to achieve the desired goal—a beautiful landscape sustainable with minimum water.   

Kevin voiced an interest in using some boulders and rock, adding an additional element of interest to the mix.  With proper irrigation, plant selection and a nice layer of mulch, you don’t have to give up your dreams of a dynamic landscape! When the landscape was completed, Grangetto’s added a hand-painted mural to the side of the building. Voila!
