This San Rafael front landscape has been dramatically updated. Detail of concert pavers surrounded by Mexican pebbles. Black metal edging separates the planting beds and pathway. Colorful succulents, such as these Echeveria 'Imbricata' and other low water plantings are featured throughout.

Before the Ecoscape designers created this backyard terrace design, this space was an odd- shaped, upwardly sloping, compacted-dirt yard with a smattering of straggly turf, assorted weeds, and a few undesirable Russian olive trees. The graduated redstone pathway is the focal point, drawing the eye upwards, with terraced beds adding texture and visual interest. Sod was added in a few key spots, however it is the water-wise perennial plantings that provide much- needed nutrition for our pollinator friends. Instead of having a sad, uninspiring backyard, the homeowner gained a lot of functional garden space with the raised beds and rock outcroppings. When covered with snow, the shapes and curves created through stonework will keep this yard interesting throughout Colorado's long winter, which often goes right though April and May. As new plants emerge in the spring, the redstone creates pockets of warmth, helping them through the fluctuating low temperatures.

A custom address sign is lit from behind with a LED light tile and compliments the more contemporary landscape design for the front entry. The concrete pier is designed as a planter.
By planting a variety of ornamental grasses and evergreen, this landscape will look great even during winter.

The Mopani Outdoor chairs and love seat bench provide plenty of seating around this permanent, year-round outdoor fireplace. Astrid Insieme accessorizes with plaid throws, pelts, kilim pillows and some lanterns for effect.
A collection of exotic plants keep the front yard interesting year round. Coppertone Stonecrop (Sedum nussbaumerianum) make a pretty groundcover.

I designed this very compact garden to look interesting all year and be extremely easy to maintain. It will have interesting blooms spring, summer and fall.
Large picture windows looked out onto the empty narrow side yard. Our solution was to create a dramatic 3D modular installation with CorTen Planters filled with low maintenance cacti.
