The client had planned on a patio but had no way to get to it! A steep slope was converted to an impressive stairway to access the walkway and patio we installed. We also handpicked and installed boulders to retain the earth on the hill, provide planting areas, and add visual interest.

A very steep slope separated the house from the Willamette River. LandCurrent's expertise in creating grading plans for steep areas and Pistilslandscape craftmanship made this slope into a piece of art.

The “handrill” of Corten steel follows the peastone and steel steps down a steep slope to pour into a round basin, emptying into a channel that meanders through the narrow back garden at ground level, ending finally in a boulder fountain.
Devised to minimize root disturbance for the tall existing pines on the property, the continuous Corten steel structure is supported by concrete tubes rather than a foundation that would have required extensive excavation.

Colorful groupings of succulents brighten the pathway to this Sausalito home's entrance spanning about 150 feet. Their colors and textures compliment the dramatic natural chert rock wall.

The stunning tree, Agonis flexuosa 'Jervis Bay Afterdark' (Peppermint Tree) has beautiful dark purple/black weeping foliage. Besides being gorgeous, this Australian native can also withstand the often strong winds, why I chose it for this coastal, windy, Sausalito, CA residence. A grouping of three were planted in a leveled area below the deck along with Euphorbia myrsinites, Yarrow and New Zealand Wind Grass. The modern wood fence obstructs views to utility equipment.
