Design ideas for a huge mid-century modern landscaping in Los Angeles.

This Hollywood Fairytail house had been lovingly restored, all but the garden! We demolished everything in the front garden and designed a new gracious porch with a checkerboard design in concrete tiles, new low water landscaping with drip irrigation and meandering paths of flagstone, a recirculating fountain and rain garden. Added fruit trees, native and climate appropriate plants and a walkable low water Ruschia area for kids and dogs.

Design ideas for an eclectic landscaping in Los Angeles.

This contemporary home was designed as a third house on an existing lot with an older duplex on the front portion. This new home has views over the Ballard locks and a large rooftop deck including raised garden beds to maximize outdoor space.

Fragaria chiloensis, kurapia and Carex!
Design ideas for a mid-sized eclectic drought-tolerant backyard gravel landscaping in Los Angeles.

The roof over the existing home was left in place and the new addition was added without having to break into the existing home until the stairway was added at the end of the project. This is a view from the street side of the addition over the older home.

Most of the plants have been installed and the decomposed granite is being put on the new main pathway.

The paver flooring for the new greenhouse. The greenhouse is being built on a compacted decomposed granite base which allows water to run through the floor to infiltrate into the ground below.

We added drought tolerant plantings and a wandering gravel walkway. This garden had great bones - it just needed some space planning and a little TLC. We removed an old and not very attractive rose garden to create a new decomposed granite seating area with a custom fire pit and some olive trees. The rest of the garden got a major landscape re-do, with low water plants, lawn area replaced with Kurapia, drip irrigation and LED landscape lighting. The clients are delighted with the new space and what with the lighting and firepit, can really enjoy this gorgeous garden!

We ripped out the lawn and replaced with low water perennials and grasses, along with a couple of citrus tress and a pineapple guava! The hardscape is simple broken concrete and decomposed granite. The whole area is on a drip irrigation system with a rain sensor. This is the planted area after 3 months - and in our "winter!"

Early in the project. The offset path from the road to the front door of the house. Low areas of the new main pathway have been raised with dirt prior to the decomposed granite being installed.
