We knew we wanted to highlight the gorgeous existing stonework in the pool area, so we chose low-growing ornamental grasses and complimentary native perennials.

This property had fabulous “bones” – a network of natural stone pathways leading down the slope to the pool. The landscape, however, was overgrown, tired and traditional.
We removed most of the existing vegetation – transplanting some to create a grass garden in the rear yard.
The pool area received a total renovation with an emphasis on pollinator-attracting perennials, native ornamental grasses, and flowering and fruiting shrubs for wildlife.
We created new beds in the front courtyard to amplify the drama and color for the front entrance.
