When asked to design a beautiful landscape that functions for all ages and occasions, yet doubles as a natural adventure playground - in the heart of Chicago - you might be forgiven for taking a deep gulp. But that’s exactly what we did. In this picture, you get a framed glimpse of the adventure, with a winding woodland path taking you over the frog guarded pond’s stepping stones, through the rustic serpentine wall, and into the formal lawn clearing beyond. Did we mention that this is the only way to get there?

A stone path without a destination was reworked to give access over the stone wall into the front yard with a rustic path and curving stone steps (in progress photo). Previously the wall separated the front yard from the house.

We created the large paths you see here by combining Decomposed Granite (DG) with new oak trees, sycamore trees, and existing trees that were burned but survived the last #Malibu fires, as well as lots of tough, drought tolerant plant material.
