Madrone Landscape Santa Ysabel Oak Garden-33

Verdant by Aged Oaks | Paso Robles, CA

This extensive landscape design-build project within a prestigious gated community brings a natural softness to a classic architectural styling. Sweeping curves gracefully blend masses of ornamental grasses, lavender, and other flowering and natives shrubs, as well as pedestrian paths and a lush lawn alongside the entry walk. White roses and rows of boxwood lend a touch of traditional formality near the house, while arching grasses soften edges and large blue agave lend year-round accents.

Wine Country Sculpture Garden

Aug 24, 2021

Wine Country Sculpture Garden | Paso Robles, CA

Every angle of view and facet of construction has been thoroughly analyzed and beautifully executed as individual pieces of art work together to create a distinctive aesthetic all its own. Every line, radius, and proportion of the exquisite landscape is designed to connect and transition between the built and natural environment.

Rare and provocative plants lend color and texture to a palette that embodies feeling and purpose at every turn. From sculpture to hardscape, to plants, to finishes, every detail of this project is here for a reason. This form provides a true sense of place: dramatic and bold, yet positively harmonious.

Winner of the President’s Trophy for the 2009 “Best Residential Landscape in All Categories”, California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) Statewide competition.
