We transformed the front garden and entry, and created a large usable space in the sloped backyard for this hillside home. At the front, the new stone steps and landing transition to a warm Ipe wood staircase and vertical railing/screen, complementing the style and colors of the home and providing an attractive backdrop for the planting. Natural rock walls support the plant areas, and a flagstone step stone path set in concrete stays neat while providing access to the backyard. The backyard similarly combines wood and stone, with steps leading up to the combined patio and deck, positioned at the highest point in the yard to take advantage of views and featuring a seating wall.
