This front yard had to also act as a clients back yard. The existing back yard is a ravine, so there is little room to functionally use it. This created a design element to create a sense of space/privacy while also allowing the Mid Century Modern Architecture to shine through. (and keep the feel of a front yard) We used concrete walls to break up the rooms, and guide people into the front entrance. We added IPE details on the wall and planters to soften the concrete, and Ore Inc aluminum containers with a rust finish to frame the entrance. The Aspen trees break the horizontal plane and are lit up at night, further defining the front yard. All the trees are on color lights and have the ability to change at the click of a button for both holidays, and seasonal accents. The slate chip beds keep the bed lines clean and clearly define the planting ares versus the lawn areas. The walkway is one monolithic pour that mimics the look of large scale pavers, with the added function of smooth,set-in-place, concrete.

The inspiration for this garden design came from the desire to utilize the owner’s 30-year-old collection of potted succulents. A generous and welcoming entry walkway consisting of various sized concrete pads was connected with ribbons of gravel, creating distinct planting areas for several species of agave, aloe, and other succulents. The predominantly blue-grey color of the plants has a cooling effect on the garden. (c) 2017 Jacklyn Curry Designs
