The “Funky Urban Patio” Project

With its new shade sails and striking rusted metal fence, this narrow yard already had great bones - but it was ready for more life and personality. The homeowner envisioned a space that felt wild yet intentional, a welcoming retreat she could truly enjoy. As an enthusiastic plant lover who wanted a little bit of everything, she found the sheer number of choices overwhelming and struggled to bring cohesion to the design. Partnering with Flecha Landscapes, we installed a diverse and thoughtfully selected mix of plants along with a simple, efficient irrigation system. Mulched planting areas and a defined pathway edged with a handsome rock border brought structure and flow to the space. The result is a vibrant, inviting garden that strikes the perfect balance between abundance and order - an ideal setting for morning coffee and relaxed entertaining.
