Corner lots offer a lot of opportunityâand this front yard in Rocklin is a great example of what happens when design is done with intention.
We took this project from planning and design all the way through installation, transforming a highly visible corner into a thriving edible landscape that is both functional and beautiful.
We thoughtfully designed the landscape in order to layer productivity, structure, and year-round interest. Fruit trees include Asian pear, yellow peach, avocado, and pomegranateâstrategically placed for structure, shade, and long-term harvest.
A trellised wall of blackberries adds vertical productivity, while the white Pakistan mulberry tree was selected specifically to avoid staining the decorative rock ground cover.
Creeping thyme and trailing phlox soften the rock beds with color, movement, and seasonal interest.
Layered throughout are marigolds, calendula, yarrow, sage, society garlic, and red currant bushes, creating a diverse planting that supports pollinators, adds texture, and provides food at multiple levels.
The result is a multi-layered front yard that delivers curb appeal today and abundance for years to come.
