Not enough usable space. Unkempt & inconsistent plantings. Dirt and dust everywhere!
Steve and Kacey, who lived in a tiny apartment for years, bought this property in wine country because of all the space. The only issue: most of the yard was unusable because of an excess of leaves, dirt, and an absence of spaces for dining and entertaining. So, they turned to Yardzen.
PROJECT GOAL & REQUIREMENTS:
- Achieve a modern rustic look for this wine country home
- Distinct spaces for dining, entertaining, and relaxing
- Low-maintenance ground coverings
- Create privacy from back and side neighbors
- Revitalize and trim back existing trees to create more light
- Habitat-supporting plants to attract pollinators
- Lighting for evenings outside
First draft 3D design
- A mix of ground coverings—grass, pavers, and gravel—to create distinct zones in the yard.
- Low-maintenance grasses and flowering shrubs. Bring on the pollinators!
- Keep the lemon tree. (We keep trees whenever we can!)
- Evergreens along the back fence to create privacy
- Space for a hot tub!
