SCULPTURE GARDEN
A forgotten side yard becomes an intimate outdoor gallery.
This landscape design transforms a barren, overlooked corridor into a refined space created specifically to showcase the client’s sculpture collection. The new exposed‑aggregate and tinted concrete grid, inlaid with smooth Mexican river rock, forms a striking ground plane - part artwork, part architecture. Its texture and rhythm bring depth and visual interest, turning a once‑unused strip of land into a stylish, contemplative retreat.
Vibrant hydrangeas and graceful flowering cherry trees frame the space with softness and seasonal color, creating a lush backdrop that enhances the sculptural forms. These plantings bring warmth and life to the composition, making the side yard feel not only functional but inviting - an elegant extension of the home’s outdoor living areas.
Permeable paving and integrated stormwater systems ensure the space performs sustainably, while low‑voltage, app‑controlled lighting highlights both the artwork and the garden’s architectural lines. Native and xeric plantings keep maintenance low without sacrificing beauty, and artificial turf adds year‑round greenery.
The result is a serene, art‑forward garden—simple, refined, and perfectly suited to the client’s collection and lifestyle.
