Lafayette Canyon

Residential Project

Project Summary

Located on an east-facing slope of the Lafayette Hills, we were excited to transform the under-utilized lawn of this secluded home into a thriving Farmscape. In addition to adding raised beds for food production, we focused on enlivening the hillside orchard with pollinator supportive plantings, drystack tree-wells and new trees. We selected complementary containers and furniture, and updated the ornamental garden areas with new, more appropriate plant selections.
