Paso Modern Ranch

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.
The low-maintenance commercial landscape for the ITek Wine facility in Paso Robles includes a vibrant selection of fool-proof natives and hardy selections. Designed by Casey Patterson and installed by Madrone Landscape, it adds a soft foundation for the modern industrial building facade.
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.
