A family’s yard in Southern California was due for an update. When they looked to Houzz to find a landscape designer, they liked the work of Living Gardens Landscape Design and hired the firm. Principal designer Sacha McCrae helped them add curb appeal with plants, pathways and an inviting sitting area in the front yard of their corner lot.
McCrae describes her clients as warm, lovely and friendly, so it makes sense that they wanted a yard that would foster community with neighbors. “The most urgent project for them was improving the front yard, which we finished first,” the designer says. It includes a strong approach to the front door, a meandering pathway, a beautiful mixture of plant textures and a welcoming seating area with a fountain.
