A new home with a large back yard and no privacy. The client's goal was to have the yard feel like a park. That look was created with lots of different type of plants and textures. The new landscape incorporated many California native plants to match the rolling oak woodland background. The meandering paths and mounding helps create the feeling of a large park or botanical garden. Many deciduous trees were tucked into the evergreen types, which provided the privacy aspect and added to pops of color when Fall hits. Seasonal color was carefully thought out, as was future maintenance of all the plantings. The pool location was carefully painted out and later moved back from the home, to make the waterfall feature more focal.
