A small herb and vegetable garden that will only get more beautiful as the raised steel beds rust. The steel helps heat up the soil in a short season landscape. Four 4' x 8' x 18" tall beds make for plenty of growing space and ease of gardening.

Inspiration for a mid-sized traditional partial sun backyard landscaping in San Francisco with decking for summer.

This is an urban single family home situated on a narrow lot that is about 1/8 of an acre and is only 2 blocks from the Pacific Ocean. I designed a completely new garden and installed everything along with the client’s help. The garden I designed consisted of an ornamental grass garden, a xeriscape garden with decomposed granite mounds, fruit trees and shrubs located throughout, a jungle forest garden, and raised brick vegetable beds in the rear. Previously, there was a wood deck covering almost the entire property that was removed by the owner. We installed root guard around all of the walkways. I installed the raised brick vegetable beds and walkways around the vegetable beds. Many of the plants were chosen to provide food and habitat for pollinators as well. Dozens of fruiting plants were located in the garden. So, it is called the “Garden of Eatin”. Landscape design and photo by Roland Oehme

Here is the first phase of the orchard and vegetable garden finished. All of the dry stacked walls are up, pathways through the orchard and vegetable garden are finished and the play house is set. Eventually fruit trees will be planted, a fence and gate will be put in around the vegetable garden and a fire pit/patio will be installed by the curved boulder wall. Photo by Cory Mann
