ZEN GARDEN
BASE PLAN
This existing site plan documents the current layout and conditions of the property, illustrating the footprint of the main residence and associated outdoor structures, including the spa, decks, benches, and adjacent concrete pads.
The drawing identifies existing hardscape elements such as concrete walkways, patio areas, and deck surfaces, along with open dirt areas, planting zones, and tree locations that define circulation and usable outdoor space.
Property boundaries, fencing, and key site features are shown to establish scale and spatial relationships, while existing landscape elements and surface materials clarify how the yard is presently organized and accessed.
Overall, the plan provides a clear baseline of existing conditions to support future grading, landscape, and pool or spa design development.
CONCEPTUAL PLAN
This conceptual landscape design transforms the long, narrow yard into a sequence of inviting garden spaces centered around a spa and intimate seating areas.
Curved flagstone paving and decomposed granite paths guide circulation, connecting a cedar arbor, stone-lined spa, and layered planting zones.
A custom boulder water feature, trellised fencing, and wood benches add structure, privacy, and visual interest, while lush ornamental grasses, shrubs, and vines soften the hardscape.
Together, these elements create a cohesive, tranquil garden retreat designed for relaxation and informal outdoor gathering.
