This classic San Francisco backyard was transformed into an inviting and usable outdoor living space. A few steps down lead to a lounging area, featuring drought-friendly and maintenance-free artificial grass as well as a cozy, custom-built natural gas fire pit surrounded by a Redwood bench. Redwood fencing, low-voltage LED landscape lighting, drip irrigation, planting and a water feature completed the space.

We designed and installed this dramatic living wall / vertical garden to add a welcoming focal point, and a great way to add living beauty to the large front house wall. The wall includes a variety of succulents, grass-like and cascading plants some with flowers, (some with flowers, Oxalis, Heuchera designed to provide long cascading "waves" with appealing textures and colors. The dated walkway was updated with large geometric concrete pavers with polished black pebbles in between, and a new concrete driveway. Water-wise grasses flowering plants and succulents replace the lawn. This updated modern renovation for this mid-century modern home includes a new garage and front entrance door and modern garden light fixtures.

Wouldn’t you like to sip a warm cup of tea at sunrise in this lush garden with tall trees providing dappled shade and leaves glistening with dewdrops? There is nothing better than visiting a project after a few years and seeing how the plants have grown into a verdant landscape that envelops you in a warm embrace. Our Zen Garden Project is thriving, and the garden is alive with the harmonious sounds of chirping birds and the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze.
