Bird Starbucks
Our client is passionate about birds, and we are nuts about creating planting designs specifically for both of them, which is how we get started.
The garden site is on a 1:3 slope, quite normal for the Bay Area houses that sit on terrain. The client agreed to add a retaining wall first to help the plants, and we marked where and how tall the wall should be.
Then, the planting design really started with the sunlight study, as the lower part of the garden might have limited sun during the winter, which will deter certain plants. After carefully studying the site, we were confident that we could design anything that would survive and shine.
We put everything red that would attract birds next to the upper walls to receive more sunlight, and we chose draping plants next to the walls to soften their appearance.
Upscape was involved in the construction; the client trusted us and asked me to join any construction during the process.
