Success Stories

We Create Beauty

We invite you to peruse some of our transformations from “not quite right” problems to perfect solutions. We create these transformations by utilizing our entire team of designers, horticulturalists, and installation specialists.

These projects add value and improve our clients outdoor experiences by making their landscapes more beautiful, functional and safer.

She Just Wanted Something Pretty To Look At And Listen To

Before

After

Our client had only one place to sit outside, but there was one big problem of no view and the noise of the neighboring pool, hvac, and generator equipment. We developed a plan and installed a lovely long reflecting pool with fountains, and a wall to block the view nextdoor.

Now, the whole family sits outside!

The Steps Weren’t Safe

Before

After

The problem here is obvious and became critical when the homeowner fell down here own front steps. Gardens to Love was called in to make the entrance safe as well as gracious. That presented the opportunity to also widen the walkway, create an axial moment, design and install iron railings and then to put in new foundation plantings.

The end result was a wider and more gracious entrance, and happy homeowners safely decending their steps.

The House Got Bigger and the Garden Became Smaller

Before

After

To accommodate the addition of a master-on-main suite the house had to be built into the small garden space. Gardens to Love accommodated this building change in several thoughtful ways.

We removed a section of the straight and stepped down retaining wall, then added to the patio using a combination of bricks to match the 40 years old house. A new retaining wall with a lovely arch was built further into the garden. This semi circle accommodates the client’s chairs and the addition of a small round coffee table…perfect for morning coffee and papers. The stucco walls were all stained with Benjamin Moore Amhearst Grey stain, a color that unifies and makes the walls recede visually. Gardens to Love simplified the plantings and left plenty of room for large pots of color that our client loves to use.

The happy result is plenty of space for indoor and outdoor living.
