New craftsman-style home on corner lot of busy street had problematic open views, compacted soil, and slopes to the sidewalk needing mitigation.
Highlights: Designed front yard of remodeled home with privacy in mind while keeping a small, low-walled patio for greeting neighbors in good weather. Natural stone edging forms dry creek effect between sidewalk and planting beds, serving as barrier for passing canine and wayward mulch. Tall trellised native grapevine drapes across front entry and shades front window. Backyard features small rose garden, native grass meadow, patio with built-in barbeque, disappearing fountain near bedroom window, and hot tub. Rolling redwood gate for hot tub's arbored deck allows for privacy.
Irrigation: Drip.
Native plants of interest: Pajaro Manzanita, Creeping Mahonia, Meadow Sedge.
Architect: square three design studios, inc.
