Italianate Terraced Home
Here the owners wished to create landscaping for their new grandiose Italianate Novato home in two phases: their entry front yard and then their steep hillside backyard.
Services Provided
In Front:
Planted a colorful deer-resistant front yard
Built a beautiful wooden arbor for Wisteria to drape across
Installed a subtle lighting system to draw you down the wandering entry path and highlight the Mimosa and Oak trees
In Back:
Shaped a spectacular swirl into the concrete patio and then mirrored that swirl in the hillside
Terraced vegetable beds into steep hillside
Strung miniature "vineyard" of Honeysuckle (Lonicera) to play to Italianate style
Built a five-foot wide promenade of decomposed granite and wooden steps carved into the hillside to allow easy walking access throughout the large curving yard
