Spanish Restoration

One of my favorite projects—this client took an outdated, in need of work, classic Spanish style home in Brentwood Park and did a complete restoration. We preserved as much of the old growth trees and charm as possible, using plants that fit with the existing design. This photo shows a path that was (when I came onto the project) dense foliage—unable to walk through. I worked with an arborist to painstakingly remove select branches from the trees to create the covered path and preserve the shade in this area of the garden. I utilized natural materials that played off of the original Spanish details of the house.
