After years of waiting, this homeowner is finally bringing her dream exterior to life! Her vision? A cottage-beach aesthetic that blends seamlessly with her interior color palette while creating a functional, beautiful space for her golden retrievers to enjoy.

The Challenge:
This home’s front yard had been left in disarray after an old plumbing system failed, leading to a devastating flood nearly three years ago. With a yard that was left barren and unusable, she was eager for a fresh start but wanted to ensure every update felt purposeful, stylish, and practical.

The Design Solution:
We created a coastal-inspired retreat that enhances curb appeal while solving her functional needs:
✔️ Soft sage-green exterior for a breezy, beachy feel
✔️ A welcoming courtyard with modern planters and cozy seating
✔️ Custom fencing & gate for both privacy and pup safety
✔️ Drought-friendly landscaping with lavender, agave, and grasses
✔️ A pergola with trailing blooms to add charm and dimension

We also added low voltage lighting to see her house shine once the sun sets.
