Working with this family was truly a joy! They were eager to create a backyard paradise and were open to several ideas. The first concept included a water feature and instead they chose to have a putting green. Although artificial grass is not our favorite lawn alternative, we let them select just the lawn. It was nice to include natives such as California Fuschia and Grindelia Stricta which invited several bees to the garden! A walkway that meandered through the garden and several benches and overhead trellis elements added areas to pause and reflect.
