The magic of this amazing Laurel Canyon property not far from the Wonderland School and conveniently located near the infamous Sunset Strip existed long before we ever stepped foot in the space. But attentive garden and exterior refurbishing brought it to a new level. The client chose a new front door and we worked on the color palette together. The black steel fence was softened to brown, the understory of the giant tree was dressed up with decorative gravel and stone accents. Lush micro-climate appropriate shade loving plants were selected for their shape and color. A visit to the beautiful and peaceful Fern Dell Park, in Griffith Park inspired the native drought-tolerant ferns we used in the front and back gardens.
