Love seasonal change. Sycamores losing their leaves for the winter revealing their structural frames. The Westridge Garden. -Anthony Exter Landscape Design

A gravel drive can be quite sublime and often ecologically sound because it facilitates percolation of rainfall to the natural groundwater table. We popped off the old impervious asphalt and added bluestone gravel and an allee of sycamore trees. Fairly young garden, about a year old. Traditional with a fresh, edited and modern approach.

The side yard revisited. Circular lounging. A circular fire table surrounded by two circles of single trunk olive trees (Olea europaea ‘Majestic Beauty’ and a circular dwarf olive hedge (Olea europaea ‘Little Ollie’). Clipped dwarf olive is an excellent drought tolerant substitute for clipped boxwood. Also quite a handsome shrub left to its own devices! Installed about a year ago.

A rather young garden, 4 months, olive, native rye grass, guava, thyme, agave, aloe, among existing palms, by us. Spanish house remodel/edit by the talented Thomas Michna.
