Southwestern Wine Country | San Miguel, CA

The owners of this San Miguel property desired a landscape to complement their hacienda-style residence, set in the vineyards of North County wine country. The large site created opportunities for multiple landscape areas, all connected by a winding pathway. A southwest-themed residence entry guides a visitor up the driveway a lush entrance. The food garden encompasses an orchard and raised beds surrounded by custom-designed fencing and an arched gateway. An entertaining area includes a pool deck and lawn, while a tree grove provides shady respite for hot summer days.

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.

Paso Robles Horse Ranch

Paso Robles Horse Ranch | Paso Robles, CA

This landscape renovation focused on reducing the size of an existing lawn, providing a large patio space for entertaining, creating clearly defined pathways throughout the property, and adding drought tolerant planting to provide beauty and blend into the natural surroundings.

Colorful perennials and grasses were used to bridge the gap between the ornamental plantings and the views beyond. Decomposed granite walkways helped to reduce costs and keep the project within budget. An colored concrete patio with a mortared flagstone border clearly defined the primary entertainment patio and created visual appeal, while an integrated concrete seat wall with flagstone cap provided seating space.
