This casual garden in the flatlands of Kentfield needed to serve many uses. The house needed guest parking and a safer entry walk. The back yard needed to accommodate a growing family and a Golden Retriever. The result is a gracious transformation that works on many levels. The new guest parking, entry gate and garden provide an entry procession for the front of the house. A finely detailed entry walk and water feature take advantage of the sight lines and setting. The walkway stairs and new front door transforms the previously understated entry. The back yard creates a large lawn area, outdoor kitchen, a sweeping stone bench terrace wall and a courtyard that doubles as a playcourt. A play structure is tucked beneath redwoods. Privacy fencing and trellises provide the property with privacy and a generous outdoor storage yard.
