Brentwood

Residential Project

Project Summary

We always delight in the opportunity to convert an unused piece of plastic astroturf into an abundant garden. This property — a tight envelope of less than 1,000 square feet — features multiple nooks for enjoying a glass of wine with friends or contemplating butterflies.
