Revisited Project- San Rafael

| | Comments (0)
Here are a couple of photographs from a project in San Rafael that was installed 4 years ago. The project included a front entrance bluestone walkway, plantings, urn fountain and entrance gate in the front yard. The interior yard featured a bluestone entryway, lawn, wood retaining wall and railing, and plantings.

Current Project- Novato Intimate Garden

This is a project for a new home in Novato. As is frequently the case, the residence is on a hillside and the space in the back yard is limited. The design for this project sought to create a usable back patio space, leaving room for an Asian themed border planting.

Here is a conceptual layout for a project in San Rafael. The Eichler home is being reworking in the front and rear yards to give an updated modern garden that functions as an extension of the residence.
