Low-Water Lush
This lush and and colorful front garden utilizes plants with medium to low water needs.
Cape California
The classic east-coast architecture of this house in the Oakland hills served as inspiration for a garden that will be green and colorful yet water-conscious. Ever-blooming daylilies surround the existing recessed seating area,
and cedar structures help to create the sense of an outdoor room in a front yard.
Bay-Bounded
This garden was designed for a house that faces San Francisco Bay, so it had to blend into the natural landscape and endure wind and salt spray.
Cottage Chic
This garden frames a classic bay area craftsman home with flowers, form and function.
Ornamental Planters
Container plantings add visual interest, create focal points, and allow you to have foliage where there is no open ground. The possibilities are endless with plant combinations, colorful glazes, and the ability to change with
the seasons.
