2009 Sea Cliff Back Yard

This is a design I did a few years ago that started with a meandering flagstone path that eventually became a green path irrigated by sub-surface irrigation.  Sub-surface irrigation is drip that is layed below ground instead of on top (requiring a flush system to prevent roots from clogging the emitters while the lines sit full).   This eliminates overspray and uses less water.  Curbstone stairs are meant to replicate the historic S.F. curbstone at the clients request.  A nearby former property of Ansel Adams provided the inspiration for the stair/paver combo set into the lawn path.   The property is lined with a 90' redwood fence and ends with an 8' tall arbor with 2 levels.  Initial plantings look minimal here.  Stay tuned for update photos!
