Project story

The design.

A blue jar fountain sits beside the entry path against the home’s light-colored walls. The approach climbs broad slate steps, with low masonry walls holding planted beds on either side.

Large bowl planters stand on stone piers near the walk. Palms rise above the roofline, while agave and flowering plants fill the lower beds. After dark, lights beneath the step edges make the changes in level visible and illuminate the planting around the entrance.
