Kentfield, California

This casual garden in the flatlands of Kentfield needed to serve many uses. The house needed guest parking and a safer entry walk. The back yard needed to accommodate a growing family and Golden Retriever. The result is a gracious transformation that works on many levels. The new guest parking, entry gate and garden provide an entry procession for the front of the house. A finely detailed entry walk and water feature take advantage of the sightlines and setting. The walkway stairs and new front door transforms the previously understated entry. The back yard creates a large lawn area, outdoor kitchen, a sweeping stone bench terrace wall and a courtyard that doubles as a playcourt. A play structure is tucked beneath redwoods. Privacy fencing and trellises provide the property with privacy and a generous outdoor storage yard.
