California Dreamin’
This client was inspired by her trip to Europe, and the soft, casual gardens she fell in love with while visiting.
She gave me a book on Santa Barbara private gardens and asked me to use it for inspiration while creating her design.
We designed "vignettes” throughout her backyard so every corner holds something beautiful to explore.
Before
A sloped backyard lacking theme and designated spaces for entertaining.
After
Terracing provides visual interest, opportunities for layering landscape, and a designated lounge area for entertaining.
Natural stone paired with scored concrete with a rock salt finish mimics a travertine look but at a fraction of the cost.
Comfortable furniture and landscape lighting beckon guests to come and relax during the day or night.
