Modern Farmhouse Landscape Renovation, Novato, CA
A complete redesign of the front and back landscape areas surrounding the updated modern farmhouse facade and newly built studio/office.
In the front of the house, the dated concrete steps and patio were replaced with an extensive new design featuring a porcelain full-color bluestone, and natural bluestone accents. New planting beds with olive trees and other colorful plants frame the front pathway/steps and provide beautiful curb-appeal. Gravel surrounds the porcelain stepping stone pathways that extend from the front, along the side of the house, and throughout the areas in the back. A large lawn once occupied much of the landscape areas in the back, now the meandering paths and planting beds, filled with olive trees, and a variety of Mediterranean, low water, low maintenance plants create a peaceful, beautiful sanctuary for the home owners to enjoy year-round. The existing old deck at the back of the house was replaced with Timbertech composite decking and added to the front of the new studio/office as well. A new gazebo sits atop a new concrete patio offering shade from the sun, and a cozy place to lounge. The firepit offers warmth on cool evenings.
