Featured Garden: Petaluma Landscape Design & Installation

On the east side of Petaluma, this job with no pre-existing landscaping, involved new construction for Details Landscape Art, a Petaluma landscape contractor. The North side of the front yard is an afternoon shade garden with Japanese maples, pieris, azaleas, camellias and large placement boulders in a very natural setting. As the front garden wraps around the corner, the exposure changes to full sun, and the design includes two Napa Cobble Chip stone walls, creating planters at different elevations and a very small lawn area. Plantings include weeping cherries, a perennial garden, and a variety of color, plant heights and textures.

The back yard is smaller, and features a stamped concrete patio and doublewide steps, and a waterfall cascading into a koi pond, which juts out into the patio. In the center of the patio is a stone box that holds a central statement tree and flowers and provides additional seating for guests.
