Welcome to the Lafayette Hills Garden, where sustainable beauty meets timeless elegance. Nestled in the rolling hills of Lafayette, this project celebrates the natural splendor of the California landscape while honoring the heritage of a 50-year-old oak tree.

Inspired by the need for water conservation and the desire to create a welcoming entrance to the home, our design journey began with a commitment to drought-tolerant plantings and thoughtful shade solutions. Against the backdrop of the majestic oak tree, we envisioned a front yard that would serve as a verdant oasis—a sanctuary of greenery and color that would greet visitors with warmth and charm.

Working in harmony with the existing ecosystem, we carefully selected a palette of native and drought-tolerant plants, each chosen for its ability to thrive in the Mediterranean climate of the Lafayette Hills. From the delicate blooms of shade-loving perennials to the vibrant foliage of succulents and grasses, every plant was chosen to infuse the landscape with texture, color, and life.
