Elegant California Villa| Arroyo Grande, CA

This stunning mission-style home beautifully displays a blend of modern charm and rustic elegance. Outdoor courtyards and planting areas weave around the house in an organic yet very intentional way. Plant selections include California native plants and Mediterranean classics, while modern design elements such as segmented concrete are subtly integrated with more rustic elements in a harmonious way. Madrone is proud to stand behind the craftmanship of this landscape!

Shoreline Inn

Shoreline Inn | Cayucos, CA

Welcome to beachfront bliss here on the Central Coast! Here’s a project for visitors to the Inn to enjoy both during the day with scenic views of Morro Rock or after dark around one of three custom-designed fire pits. The main statement wall made of locally-sourced Cambria stone is curved to mimic the organic shapes of shore and waves. Madrone detailed everything from the partition walls, barbeque island, fire pits and seat walls to the beach pebbles and planted areas. Materials such as composite wood, colored beach pebbles and pavers were selected for their durability as well as beauty. Ample landscape lighting further makes the space inviting as the sun sets on a truly gorgeous location.

Law Estate Wines

Law Estate Wines

When visitors meet the gates of Law Estate Wines, large swaths of purple sage and bright red Everett’s Choice fuchsia are there to greet them. Through the simple, yet striking, weathered steel gates, the drive up to the tasting room offers gorgeous views of the surrounding hillscape. Once at the top, the main landscape feature becomes incredible apparent: a massive corten steel planter filled with rows and rows of mass-planted California native and Mediterranean plant species spanning all the way up the stairs to the entry of the tasting room. Once at the top of the stairs, visitors can look down on all the plant rows from above, and enjoy the plantings and seating area on the upper patio.

Vibrant Modern Farmhouse Living | Arroyo Grande, CA

This modern residence set in the rolling hills features several areas for gathering, including outdoor dining and a cozy fire feature for cool evenings. Lush artificial turf sets a low-maintenance and low-water foundation for an array of vibrant flowering plants and ornamental grasses before a transition to the native landscape. Multiple segmented concrete paths traverse the site, including at the entry, which leads to a beautiful recirculating stone fountain. Adelaide boulders, Noiyo cobble, and gray gravel mulch treatments also add structure to the landscape. Plant species include pink Rock Purslane, Moonshine Yarrow, architectural New Zealand Flax, and hardy Red Hot Poker.
