Great stuff… my favorites are the low water/ low maintenance grass and the graywater recycling system from Sloan.
How do you clean Gravelpave? if it fouls or gets clogged with debris, it seems it could neither be power washed or vacuumed.
The greywater system is excellent. Too bad the only LED nomination is recessed lights, bus it’s a start!
