This overgrown city lot was transformed into an oasis of lush planting that enclose a cozy patio. In the rear yard, a pergola extends over a concrete couch and fire pit creating an ideal space for relaxing.

The wood pergola creates a focal point in the backyard. The existing cherry tree was preserved to keep shade in the garden. Lush planting borders the concrete pad terrace.

The planting composition is layered with an emphasis on texture and massing. Thin, narrow bamboo creates privacy for the garden, while an existing cherry tree provides screening. Colorful succulents and perennials create a vibrant oasis.
