Glenborough Drive
Location: Mountain View, CA
This homeowner can't get enough saturated color, so we were happy to oblige! Because we started by creating a custom whole-house color palette, the mix of bright colors is cohesive and inviting inside and out, and the homeowner has a guide for continuing the look when adding new items.
This narrow side yard, originally intended for use as a vegetable garden, suffered from low light and a heavy root system from the trees next door. It was transformed using recycled rock and gravel, a vintage painter's bench, red Adirondack chairs, planters, and drought-tolerant ground cover.
