CREATIVE IDEAS FOR LANDSCAPE DESIGN & OUTDOOR LIVING
Happy Fall! It's been awhile since I've posted and I thought I'd catch you up on what's been happening. There are lots of new projects to share. The first one is one I call Montecito Mediterranean in the Oaks. This one is extra special for many reasons.
We have worked here for decades, this is owner number three who we have helped! I think this is the best. Outdoor kitchen, wood-fired pizza oven, pergola, edible gardens and new Flagstone patio.
Enjoy! Happy Fall. xo Lisa
