Another Eichler because they are super-cool to work with and the end results are always so satisfying. Along with Mindful Construction, Inc. and the very talented homeowners, the vision created for this project is a midcentury modern oasis. We love a nice flat lot but creating separate livable spaces that flow together to fulfill all the wishes on the list is an art. The pool is incredible and already serving all of its goals as the focal point in this sunny back yard. Now it’s time to put the finishing touches on the space with softscape.

Existing plant highlights include: ‘Desert Museum’ Palo Verde, Crimson Bottlebrush, Grevillea, Leucadendron, and an incredible California Fan Palm (Washingtonian Filifera) towering over the pool. NEW planting plan highlights include: Acacia iteaphylla, Agave celsii albicans x attenuata, Podocarpus elongatus ‘Icee Blue’ and more to come. This one is going to be beautiful. Stay tuned for progress pics… I love showing the process and this one will be completed in phases.
