ORINDA, CA
A minimal landscaped property with large open lawn areas toward surrounding roads, required newly designed usable and private exterior spaces. The client's need for a fun and in parts whimsical kid friendly environment, set the stage for colorful concrete hardscape settings, landscape engaging kid activities like waterfall, 'peek-through' bolder and tough low maintenance plant settings to play hide and seek. A cypress alley toward the front door sets a pronounced and unique entrance mood, interacting with a group of other cypresses across the garden.
