Valley Vista

Los Angeles, CA

Overview

Hillside properties present their own set of challenges. The key is to turn those challenges into opportunities.  Landscape timbers were installed to create three terraces. The top terrace afforded a grassy knoll to oversee the hillside and street below.  The Spanish architecture dictated a Mediterranean palette of Agave weberi, Lantana camara, a robust planting of Echium fastuosum-Pride of Maderia, and three strategically placed Olea europea-wilsonii.

The back yard is the interactive space with a Fire Bowl conversation area off the house before you ascend the fragrant Lavender lined stairs to a second plateau with a lap pool, jacuzzi, and wood deck.
