Projects: Japanese Makeover
Award Winner!

The owners of this Novato home wanted to take their garden in a new direction - a Japanese influence. In addition, they sought to make it more useable and to reverse the layout of their patio and lawn. We worked with our friend, Cliff Murata, who has 20 years of specialized experience, to handbuild the client's Japanese-style dry creek, thus creating a spectacular anchor to this themed back garden.

Services Provided

• Designed and installed themed garden including dry creek, bridge, lighted guidepost, drainage, Japanese fountain and lighting.
• Installed side yard pathways: one of seeded aggregate and one that recycled the flagstone from their former patio.
• Added the special little details such as creating a trellis to hide the air conditioning unit and acquiring a barbecue at a discout for the client so they could enjoy their summer nights.
