AFLA's primary task was to make the exterior for a newly purchased home workable. It required lowering an existing unusable steep driveway by 5 feet, redesign deteriorated retaining walls as well as front entrance and rear yard decks. A modest remaining landscape budget was used to create minimal but strong connections into the surrounding natural Eucalyptus forest.
