For walled gardens and courtyards, soften masonry walls with espaliered plants such as Flowering Pear or Crabapple for fragrant spring bloom, or try Burning Bush or Cotoneaster for beautiful fall color.

Custom espalier for apple trees makes a nice boundary between the upper terrace and lower pool patio and lawn.

Between French doors that lead to the fireplace area, an espaliered Crabapple tree looks at home on the painted brick and softens the hard surface. Delicate hand pruning creates and maintains the tree’s shape and good health. Our team fills raised urns with lovely annual flowers each season, while Vinca groundcover beds edge the space.

This large and private city garden is nestled behind a handsome 3 story Edwardian, protected from Dolores Street and adjacent buildings. It is owned by four parties with as many garden activities and varied styles. Creating distinct outdoor rooms was never more important! Curved and meandering pathways were designed to (re)direct views. Down one path you become immersed in a lush explosion of foliage and flowers and charmingly repurposed brick and boulders. In another direction, peace reigns amidst well groomed and organized plants, the structure of the sensible geometry of decking, and book matched large scale pottery. Edibles are mixed throughout, and again, some are kept tidy and controlled such as the formally espaliered apple tree and lemon archway (Eureka meets Meyers), while others are allowed to wend and wind. Plant screens are used as baffles and living walls to mask unwanted views between rooms while allowing us to retain the sunlight and openness of the site.

An espalier grows as a backdrop to this Borowski armadillo who stands high on his own pedestal as he keep watch over the gardens.
