About the project

The biggest challenge with this property was its overgrown nature. There were multiple small pockets surrounding the home in an equally overrun state. Our clients wanted to keep some of the beautiful plant specimens and integrate them in a more appropriate way. A large section of the plants were removed and replanted in a way as to open up and define the space. Trees such as Palo Verdes and Desert willows were introduced for color and dimension. The nature of these trees allow the more crowded spaces to remain uncluttered. Fencing around the property for security was a high priority, but not allowing it to look closed off from the neighborhood was also of great importance. We choose open metal grates with engineered wood frames for that reason. This project was highly collaborative in nature and communication was key from start to finish.

What we Did

  • Downsized and re-designed/re planted front yard, side patio and back courtyard
  • Installed two areas of California native grass
  • New drip irrigation throughout the property
  • Installed a custom metal and wood fence with retaining wall foundation
  • Design and install double wide driveway gate with custom locks and hardware
  • Created new entryway and stairs, plus tile risers
  • Block wall with stucco to frame patio
  • Refurbish wood door with new custom hardware
  • Install Arizona pebble and stabilized DG

"Our yard is the talk of the neighborhood! Helen was amazing, she came in for the design phase with ideas on how to make the space flow better without ripping everything out and starting from scratch.... She is clear and upfront about budgetary and scheduling issues and is professional and helpful around every turn. We have referred her several times to friends who are also really happy with their projects. I’d recommend her a 1000 times over."
