EXISTING FRONT YARD

THIS HAS BEEN UNTOUCHED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE IN 2011. GOALS/PROBLEM AREAS:

  • Update overall landscape design to a clean, modern, organic xeriscape with a few structured/modern design elements

  • Overhaul irrigation system in entire front yard — only half is currently functional, and still on bubblers, tree is not adequately watered, etc

  • Add lighting to the yard, and update patio light fixtures

  • Enhance the patio area with all new plants and gravel/riprap. Rework paved walkway to feel more modern? Take advantage of irrigation running to the top of the wall with planters??

  • New gate on the East side of the house, something easier to use so we can conceal garbage cans



EXISTING WEST SIDE YARD

GOALS/PROBLEM AREAS:

  • Very High Priority: Visually distinguish our property from the unkempt wash adjacent to it, which is not our property.

  • Clean up the debris on our side of the wash (bricks, old dead plants, etc)

  • Possibly add plants or other materials that will prevent further erosion on our side of the wash.

  • Fix/add irrigation along west side

  • Plant trees for shade on the west side of the house, and to conceal the rooftop A/C unit

  • Remove extra irrigation box and tidy up the side wall in general
