Project story

The design.

Low retaining walls terrace the sloped yard. Agave, mesquite, and red yucca grow among the gravel and stone, with crushed-granite paths passing between the beds. Trees and shrubs receive drip irrigation.

A large circular labyrinth occupies a paved terrace below the house, its winding pattern visible from the raised paths. Timber pergolas shelter the entry walk and a separate deck. Steps connect the terraces, and lighting follows the routes through the garden after dark.
