Marin Garden

We began this project with an overall master plan for the restoration of this beloved 1.5 acre family property. The first phase of the landscape began with clearing dead and dying vegetation and bringing back to life mature trees and shrubs. Next the outdoor spaces near the house were updated with new stone, walls and planting. A small outdoor kitchen, fountain and fire table were incorporated into the design. Failing retaining walls were replaced with new stone walls to create a terraced garden. Native grasses, meadows and raised vegetable gardens are also features of this garden.
