This client came to me with an almost blank palette. The front yard was a weed-filled slope with two glorious purple plum trees providing lots of shaded space. Because the soil on this property is made up of a lot of clay, rain would rush off the property and into the street. We decide to build up a low retaining wall with boulders to lessen the slope of the yard, letting rain water sink into the soil were the plants can access it, instead of running into the storm drains and out the ocean. Because of the plum trees, we chose shade tolerant Mediterranean adaptive and California native plants to create a naturalistic woodland look. The corner of the property receives full sun for most of the day, and we incorporated edible plantings such as pineapple guavas, artichokes and culinary herbs that seamlessly integrated with the shade loving plants. This yard is now a low-maintenance, water wise garden that breathes new life into this 1960s house.

DreamDesign®25, Springmoor House, is a modern rustic farmhouse and courtyard-style home. A semi-detached guest suite (which can also be used as a studio, office, pool house or other function) with separate entrance is the front of the house adjacent to a gated entry. In the courtyard, a pool and spa create a private retreat. The main house is approximately 2500 SF and includes four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The design centerpiece is the two-story great room with asymmetrical stone fireplace and wrap-around staircase and balcony. A modern open-concept kitchen with large island and Thermador appliances is open to both great and dining rooms. The first-floor master suite is serene and modern with vaulted ceilings, floating vanity and open shower.

This updated front yard entry utilizes poured in place concrete for the main pathways and Indiana limestone for accents. Landscaping and color are used to accent the walkways and decorative pottery is used at the front entry for added visual interesting and an inviting feel.
