Lagoon-side property in the Bel Marin Keys, Novato, CA. Entertaining and enjoying the views were a primary design goal for this project. The project includes a large camaru deck with built-in seating. The concrete steps and pavers lead down to the water's edge. I included a sunken patio on one side and a beautiful Buddha statue on the other, surrounded by succulents and other low-water, contemporary plantings. I also used Dymondia ground cover to create a natural pathways within this sustainable garden design. Featured plants: Euphorbia 'Blackbird', Bulbine frutescens 'Orange Form', Blue oat grass, Achillea 'Coronation Gold', New Zealand Wind Grass and Sea Lavender.
