Living Gardens Landscape Design
Our homeowners were looking for a garden where they could sit by the fire, grow vegetable and hear the sound of water. Their home was new construction in a modern farmhouse style. We used gravel and concrete as paving. Board formed concrete firepit keeps it feeling modern. The vegetable beds supply season vegetables and herbs.

APLD 2021 Silver Award Winning Landscape Design. Painted galvanized troughs used for vegetables in the side yard. An expansive back yard landscape with several mature oak trees and a stunning Golden Locust tree has been transformed into a welcoming outdoor retreat. The renovations include a wraparound deck, an expansive travertine natural stone patio, stairways and pathways along with concrete retaining walls and column accents with dramatic planters. The pathways meander throughout the landscape... some with travertine stepping stones and gravel and those below the majestic oaks left natural with fallen leaves. Raised vegetable beds and fruit trees occupy some of the sunniest areas of the landscape. A variety of low-water and low-maintenance plants for both sunny and shady areas include several succulents, grasses, CA natives and other site-appropriate Mediterranean plants complimented by a variety of boulders. Dramatic white pots provide architectural accents, filled with succulents and citrus trees. Design, Photos, Drawings © Eileen Kelly, Dig Your Garden Landscape Design

This is their garden about a year later. Native and drought tolerant plants fill the area between the street and the set-back deer fence. The fence is transparent to keep a friendly face to neighbors.

Gravel paths wrap raised edible beds at the garden's edge. As with the orchard, these beds offer the family chances to encounter neighbors and passersby - and save the occasional trip to the grocery store.

This simple, architectural railing serves to separate the garden space from the front yard driveway.

Eichler in Marinwood - At the larger scale of the property existed a desire to soften and deepen the engagement between the house and the street frontage. As such, the landscaping palette consists of textures chosen for subtlety and granularity. Spaces are layered by way of planting, diaphanous fencing and lighting. The interior engages the front of the house by the insertion of a floor to ceiling glazing at the dining room.
Jog-in path from street to house maintains a sense of privacy and sequential unveiling of interior/private spaces. This non-atrium model is invested with the best aspects of the iconic eichler configuration without compromise to the sense of order and orientation.

Every garden needs a place to grow vegetables. This custom, oversized cedar planter is a great place for the family to get their hands dirty.

Just installed this week! Still needs to grow in! Custom made Corten Steel Hexagon Herb Garden beds. Raised up to waist high, can be reconfigured if desired, but loving the honeycomb effect here. Full of perennial herbs like sage, rosemary, thyme, French tarragon.

Now the space is a well organized highly productive organic vegetable garden. The deer no longer can get in and the heavy clay soil is no longer a problem.

An authentic LA coastal canyon landscape beautifully complements this warm, modern architectural design. California native Deer Grass and an IdealMow lawn fill sunny garden spaces, and a mix of native salvias and shade loving plants form a fragrant understory to a redwood grove at the back of the expansive property.

Native Edge Landscape
After their brand new construction was completed, this family had a beautiful and comfortable home that truly fit their needs. However, this new construction lacked an outdoor living space, which left the backyard feeling stark and bare. With this blank slate, we were able to create a relaxing environment for this family to enjoy.
Faced with the challenge of using every square-inch of this small space, Native Edge was able to design a landscape that left this family worry-free. We incorporated a low maintenance composite decking system, modern raised metal planters, and a bubbling urn water feature to tie this peaceful landscape together. The poor drainage of the lot gave us the opportunity to create a striking cat walk and drainage feature, which left ample room for their vegetable and herb garden hobby. There is even a nook for the family dog to enjoy!
