This project was for a client in Solana Beach who wanted an avant-garde / Dr. Seuss / art showcase / succulent painting type of landscape design for her North facing fenced in front yard. She hired me for a same-day sketch service which was extended to a few weeks. She was very open to creative ideas (my favorite type of client) and what came through was this blooming butterfly form with one of it’s wings as a succulent painting including an arc of colored glass.

The rest of the design revolved around finding the right shade /partial-sun plants to accentuate the succulent painting she requested & what was existing on-site which included the meandering dry river bed, flagstone steppers, large ficus trees in the center and privacy hedge along the East side property line. I’m really grateful how it came out and hope to be invited to do more creative design work like this project of which I especially love.

As with all projects, starting with a successful design is key to a beautiful outcome. Reach out if you would like to discuss starting on your new design plans.
