Before and After: Rockridge Brown-shingle woodland garden

Before:


This classic brown-shingle in Rockridge was being fixed up and sold. The seller and his real estate agent hired us to design the garden for the sale.


After: It's been over three years since this garden was installed (and we do not know the current residents of the house). The huge redwood in the front was existing, but we replaced the ugly broken concrete sidewalk with a Connecticut Full-Range flagstone path, and planted a 'Forest Pansy' Redbud tree (the tree with the heart-shaped purple leaves), and added more white agapanthus, a red flax, orange New-Zealand wind grasses, and purple flowering African daisy. Closer to the house we added some rhododendrons, and an oakleaf hydrangea to compliment the existing tree fern.
