Backyard garden scene with chair and fire pit

Rockridge Hillside

Oakland

This mediterranean hillside garden provides a welcoming entry to this stylish Oakland home. Corten steel retaining walls tame the steep slope giving the easy care, low water plantings room to thrive.  A sophisticated cluster of planters and mid century modern furniture brought new life to an old patio.
