BASE PLAN

This base plan shows an existing property with a central residence and attached garage. The site features a concrete driveway leading to the garage, bordered by gravel areas, a brick wall, and mature perimeter vegetation. The front yard includes two lawn sections separated by a walkway composed of pavers and gravel, with an exposed drain pipe along the entry path. Utility placements, including spot elevations, existing walls, and property lines, are identified to inform future landscape development.

CONCEPTUAL PLAN

This conceptual landscape plan features modern concrete pads, smooth stucco walls, and gravel inlays to create a clean, contemporary entry. Drought-tolerant plantings such as Agave, Blue Chalksticks, and Phormium provide texture and color, while Silver Carpet groundcover replaces traditional lawn. Integrated LED path lights and wall washers highlight the design and improve nighttime visibility.
