Giving a dramatic twist to the tired yard of a Spanish Mission house. Modern and rustic blending in a single landscape with dark grey concrete and brick and decomposed granite pathway.

Decomposed granite pathways serve as extensions of the light-brushed concrete terraces, and their shared monochrome palette complements the warm colors of the house. The brick from the house is also repeated in the garden walls. Boxwood hedges, honey locusts, and a specimen topiary all add rich beauty without distracting from the stunning architecture.
