Residential "Zen" garden cleanup and reorganization
This residential project is all about the subtle details. This front yard needed a facelift and a bit more cohesiveness to complement the homeowner's lifestyle and home interior. Once the house was repainted a striking palo verde green, all we had to do is finish it off with some additional planting and expansion of the 'zen' garden feeling as guests walk toward the front door. The polished black pebbles really help the golden barrel and columnar cactus stand out and make a statement. We moved a few of the existing sculptures around for a better visual flow and feeling in the space (those round concrete pieces weren't light!!) We'll be adding a little more planting in the spring and doing some final touches with succulents in landscape containers, but the homeowners are well on their way to having a striking entry to their home!
