Project Scope
This client had seen our work at Jack’s Garden and was hopeful that we could help them with their large corner lot as well. After living at their Spanish style home for over 30 years, they needed help re-imagining their long parkways and a sprawling front lawn into something less thirsty and more environmentally responsible.
Client priorities:
space for neighborhood dog hangs
grapes or vines climbing the facade of the house
a “secret pathway” to their front door
lots of colors
full parkways
