Borrowing views from the valley beyond, this Marin county property is an absolute retreat from the city life. Terra Ferma Landscapes designed and installed monolithic steps to sweep in from the entryway past lush woodland plantings and a custom water feature, landing at the newly built deck. Respecting the sloping hillside, a meandering gravel path softened by low growing perennials leads down to the pool terrace. Low perimeter plantings along the pool terrace frame characteristic views of the valley surrounding the property. A graceful arbor and water feature complete the peaceful getaway.
