Palisades Residence
COMPLETED 2023
New with new landscape of stone paths and patio, decking, and native plants.
The Story
Our Client was passionate from the beginning that this landscape, which overlooks National Park Service land, should be entirely native and not dependent on irrigation to thrive. Their architect, BLD.US, used local native wood species in their cladding and we coordinated with the tones and contrasts in our flagstone selection. We carefully located terraces to work with the steep slopes across the site.
