Our goal with this home was to create a front and back yard as fabulous as the home itself. The family, who previously lived in San Francisco, wanted to insert Californian effortless style and water-wise plantings into their new outdoor retreat.

Lanier Landscapes graded and sodded the property and built a retaining wall to match the home's unique stonework.

We created key focal points to be viewed from the home with two niches hosting a custom arched bench, and a collection of rustic planters.

The aged terracotta planters bring out the same hues in the retaining wall and soften its appearance.

We wanted to add some visual interest to the front of the home, while representing the couple's welcoming, West Coast aesthetic.

We created a water-wise design featuring four seasons of color provided by perennials, ornamental grasses, roses, and evergreens.

The lamp posts frame the driveway, mirroring the facade's stonework, and providing light and a mail box for the home's entrance.

Sometimes simplicity provides the best moment of all...

When the family moved in their back yard was covered with Ivy and an overgrown private which blocked all of the sunlight. They wanted a garden to enjoy and a large grass area for their small children to play.

We removed the dying private, graded the yard, and installed a retaining wall and sod.
