RICHMOND
Before
This garden was an awkward shaped new build with only a shed and some grass. The small patio lacked sun and the shed required year round access. The client's only request was that it took influence from California having spent much time there over the years.​
​
After
A new shed was installed and hidden by a decorative screen. The path created an interesting journey through drought tolerant and highly textured planting, akin to what you would see in California. The stepping stones led to relaxed seating area for them to enjoy the afternoon sun.
