Oak Woodland | Atascadero, CA

In the hills of Atascadero, this residence rests on a peak amid the shade of large, stately oak trees.

The landscape includes a redwood staircase with dg treads built into the hill, allowing full access to the best views on the property. The planting design plays off of the oaks, using a variety of textures and natives, while low-spreading plants provide erosion control and aesthetically pleasing views from below.

Templeton Estate | Templeton, CA

This setting offers beauty from every angle. Driving up to the residence, visitors are greeted with a series of dg paths and a grand display of native and Mediterranean plants. Some of the selections, like New Zealand Flax and Cape Rush, offer year-round interest, while the seasonal bloomers such as yarrow, create a profusion of color during their bloom period.

Walking around to the other side of the house, the backyard reveals its vast expanse. On one end, a natural stone firepit and seating area await the perfect winter night. Above that sits a series of steps leading to a gazebo that overlooks the vineyards. Across the way, a large wooden pergola shades the patio – offering relief from the hot summer sun. Nearby, surrounded by California native plants, sits a bubbling boulder fountain. All the elements together create a landscape perfectly suited for every season.
