Wildflowers stretch across the white sand of a manmade dune. Mangroves protect the sand from erosion during storms, and dune sunflower, blanket flower, and beach morning glory thrive in the difficult environment.

California native plants attract bees, birds, butterflies, and more.

Here is a close up of the second project. One reason for choosing this type of custom installation is the ability to add one’s favorite flowers. In the right season, the flowers add sweet-smelling aroma therapy to the already wonderful hydrotherapy of a Bullfrog Spa. https://bit.ly/2kmqsV3 Additional Note: If you think you might be moving at some point, with an easy custom installation like this, all you need do is drain your portable hot tub/spa. It can then be lifted up and taken to another location, along with any boulders and plantings.

Its all about family...This east side backyard transformation began with a recommendation from our previous clients. This design build plan began with the family in mind! A place to have picnics, learn about flowers, enjoy family pets, vegetable gardening, bird watching and an outdoor living space for friends and family to get together for those special everyday occasions! Mission accomplished, phase 1.

Saturday June 27, 10:00 to 11:30am | Riverside Riverside Waterfront Residence by Susan Cohen of Susan Cohen Landscape Architect A stately grove of white birches greets visitors at the entry to this hilltop home – a nod to the birch forests of the owner’s native Sweden. The house and gardens of this riverfront estate were carefully placed to take full advantage of the site’s spectacular waterfront panorama. A long bluestone terrace runs along the back of the house, providing ample seating areas from which to enjoy the views. Spring-flowering trees are planted throughout the landscape and a large country garden overflows with old-fashioned roses, perennials, and annuals. The lush flower border here, blooming in shades of pink, purple, blue, and yellow throughout the summer season, can also be seen from passing sailboats. At one end of this garden is a small spa, surrounded by flowers. The landscape, like the gracious house, was designed to be a welcoming place for gatherings of family and friends, and it serves this purpose well. Photo courtesy Susan Cohen

Situated in old Palo Alto, CA, this historic 1905 Craftsman style home now has a stunning landscape to match its custom hand-crafted interior. Our firm had a blank slate with the landscape, and carved out a number of spaces that this young and vibrant family could use for gathering, entertaining, dining, gardening and general relaxation. Mature screen planting, colorful perennials, citrus trees, ornamental grasses, and lots of depth and texture are found throughout the many planting beds. In effort to conserve water, the main open spaces were covered with a foot friendly, decorative gravel. Giving the family a great space for large gatherings, all while saving water.

Estefanie assisted with the grey wall colour choice and some finishes such as choosing indigo layers for a modern coastal space with clean lines, rich textures and family-friendly materials. The fireplace has a sleek concrete texture and a rustic feel which pairs well with the living room’s woven pieces. Combining the concrete charcoal tile on the fireplace and the delicate scales of cream coloured flower petals on the mirror achieves a wonderful contrasting effect.
