San Francisco, CA

Our first Showcase, we were privileged to have such a grand curbside front garden, demanding street appeal for this Spanish influenced Mansion in the treasured, SeaCliff neighborhood in San Francisco. Adding oversized metal planters that flanked the entry with standard form Swan Hill olives, as well as extending and refinishing the front walkway in a concrete tile in an arabesque pattern and refinishing the existing brick, honoring the style of the home were dramatic improvements. A custom metal planter was also added behind a custom shou sugi ban bench in front, allowing for a moment to pause and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Soft, mediterranean planting was used to blend the house into the landscape. The exterior of the home was modernized with an upgraded paint palette and exterior lighting, and the front door was refinished to bring out the natural beauty and vintage charm of the original grand doors.
