LANDSCAPE REMODEL AND LIVING WALL - ​MID-CENTURY MODERN RESIDENCE, SAUSALITO, CA

---

Project Overview:
This extensive landscape remodel for this mid-century modern home features a dramatic living wall/vertical garden designed to provide a welcoming focal at the home's entrance. I carefully chose plants for the Living Wall that provide year-round appeal; designed in long cascading "waves" offering a variety of textures and leaf colors; from pale greens to blue greens, to burgundies and rust tones, some with white and yellow flowers for added interest. Some of the plants have been replaced in the Spring of 2021, two  years after installation. The tired lawn was replaced and the garden extended and filled with a variety of water-size, colorful and textural grasses, succulents, flowering plants and shrubs that echo the plants in the living wall. The landscape renovation has been further updated with a modern walkway with large geometric concrete pavers, complimented by polished black Mexican pebbles in between, connected with the updated concrete driveway. The modern low-voltage lighting fixtures and updated front doorway and garage door complete this front landscape transformation.

Design Details:

• Dramatic  8' x 9' Living Wall covers large bare wall providing a beautiful and welcoming focal point. Updated in 2021.
• Contemporary concrete pathway with polished accent pebbles.
• New concrete driveway.
• Flowing grasses and other low-water, low-care plants in the landscape areas replace the lawn.
• Colorful combination of grasses, succulents and cascading plants in a flowing pattern design for the living wall.
• The Florafelt LIving Wall System chosen for the living wall.
• Low-voltage LED lighting for pathways, and highlights.
