A lawn-to-garden transformation with an all-new softscape design — raised planter beds for vegetables and herbs, fruit trees in peach, lemon, and plum, edibles woven through the composition rather than tucked away.

Existing Italian cypress and towering cedar on the property, with neighboring redwoods along the fence lines, gave the design its vertical frame. The new planting fills it with movement and color, taking full advantage of the open, full-sun exposure.
