Ryan, I'm a fan of bottlebrush and various types of elephant food\bush. They are inexpensive, grow slow, attractive and don't shed leaves or flowers everywhere. Olive trees and bougainvillea are the devil.

I'm curious, do you have other residential multi-family that request landscaping? These current tenants that are requesting this from you; do you think they expect it for free, or are you intending on making up the cost by raising rents by more than inflation or market to make up for the cost? Does your property have a water source that isn't tied to the unit utility bill, or do you pay for water and include that in rent?
