North County Rustic Modern | Paso Robles, CA

A redesign in Paso Robles at 10,600 SF, this North County backyard landscape creates a rustic modern outdoor sanctuary. The scope of work included perimeter fencing with access gates, walkways and patio areas to enhance flow and function throughout the property, a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant planting plan. Plans included an outdoor kitchen, BBQ and fire pit area, an irrigation system for maximum efficiency and performance, and lighting to enhance usability and aesthetics after dark.

The design includes points of interest and focal features such as a dry creek, raised garden beds, horizontal fencing, and landscape lighting. Stately oak trees with moonlighting create a canopy over the activity areas.

Modern Rustic Retreat

Modern Rustic Retreat | Paso Robles, CA

The east side of Paso Robles is characterized by Oak Savannahs, rolling golden hills, and intense dry summer heat. This straw bale construction home, designed for modern sustainability, protects those inside from extreme temperatures outside.

The garden similarly acts as a beautiful refuge, insulating the home from the surrounding savannah, while blending colors and textures picked up from both the natural setting and the architecture of the home. Drifts of pastel colors surround elegant patios to give a feel of being situated within a field of outstanding wildflowers, while still maintaining calculated patterns with four-season appeal.
