This sporty family needed lots of activity space; space for gathering, space for sports, and space to just spread out and enjoy the outdoors. What started as a sloped lawn with a dilapidated garage and crumbling driveway, transformed into a flowing and cohesive garden. Reusing chunks of concrete from the driveway, we built retaining walls out of “urbanite” squares, along with a herringbone patio with reclaimed brick. The planting plan included Persimmon and Pluot trees, as well as shrubs and perennials to bring all the birds and pollinators to the yard. Designed while working for a landscape design/build company.
