'Luminous Hilltop' in Kearny Mesa

This project was for a family in the Kearny Mesa area of San Diego. They wanted a toddler- and dog-friendly landscape design that included some privacy in their front yard with fencing, a new driveway, new side gates, and a full backyard design as well.

The front yard included redwood horizontal fencing, a synthetic turf area, two raised planter seat walls with Strawberry trees, and new walkable stabilized-decomposed-granite parkways with low-maintenance succulent planting. The backyard encompassed a new modern modular paver patio with 2' square steppers leading to both side yards, a bamboo screening hedge, open cable fencing along the back property line to capture the hilltop panoramic views, a large grass area, and a play area with rubber mulch for their young son. The planting included low-maintenance colorful shrubs, grasses, and succulents.
