Winton Avenue Median Landscape

Written By Lesley Benedict
 

Year completed: 2016

The Winton Avenue Landscape Median project is an attractive renovation landscape mixing existing Crape Myrtles with California Live Oak and drought tolerant and native flowering shrubs and grasses. The stone mulch is an attractive white and golden tan color that complements the plantings. The Bay Friendly Signage is located along the sidewalk near the corner commercial area, and is accessible to many pedestrians.
