Landscape Design by Shawna Kenny

Here is a picture of before. The style was not what the owners wanted, and so everything had to go.

Almost everything was removed, and new sod was put in.

Now a tropical oasis in San Diego, that looks like Hawaii

The old cement walkway was demoed, and a flagstone pathway went in, in order to achieve a more organic look

This entryway now makes a bold tropical statement with lush greens, and vibrant purples. We added exotic Kentia Palm Trees, Purple Heart ground coverr, narrow leaf chalksticks, Kahili ginger, a camilia bush, and rock purslane succulent

A flagstone pathway was installed, in order to give a more accessible route to the mailbox.

This backyard used to have a large beat-up deck, that took over the whole yard, and was not very functional.

A new multi-level deck was installed, with Mangaris wood, cable railings, bar-top railing, corrugated metal cover, built-in jacuzzi, and new landscape.

Staggered floating landings, in different sizes, were a nice touch suggested by the contractor Jerry Parker. They contribute a contemporary, and architectural element to the design

Once before, a sloped, unusable space. Now with a rock retaining wall installed, it became another functional addition to the yard.

Tiki Torches, and island planter beds were added.

New flagstone walkway.

This side yard used to be sloped with a concrete walkway, which made it barely usable. Now, the space is opened up with a flagstone path, rock retaining wall, and mulch ground cover.

Corrugated metal patio cover, with industrial style ceiling fan. The ceiling fan makes it cooler, but also keeps the bugs away!
