An emphasis on California native and non-invasive climate appropriate plantings that attract birds and beneficial insects as well as edible plants

This house is located on a lush and leafy residential street—a neighborhood were people walk their dogs and wave to neighbors as they pass by. The concept was to create a front yard garden with feeling of privacy for the home that doesn’t cut-off interaction with the neighborhood. Strategically placed plants provide screening for the house while capturing and framing views of the street. The plant pallet is a comprised of primary California native plants, designed to give a soft formal look. Working with rich greens and white flowers for the plants, and earthy grays for the hardscape, this landscape seamlessly integrates with the neighborhood.

One aspect I love about designing landscapes is creating spaces that help build community. An outside space that can work to blur boundaries between private and public spaces.
