Palo Alto Driveway Garden
Traditional Garden, San Francisco
The driveway on this lovely Palo Alto site does triple duty as a garden, a patio, and a functional drive. The overhead wisteria is grown on cables supported by the house and iron posts along the driveway, and gives an aura of seclusion to the back garden. An arbor built across the front of the garage creates a garden cottage effect, while the mural on the garage doors extend the garden scene into the distance, expanding the space. The brick patterns add another layer of detail and enhances the view from the house.
