Steel wall and daring displays
A steel retaining wall helped transform a boring, suburban, sloping front lawn into a level, walkable plane with ample room for the new owner's extensive collection of potted plants and garden art. It also turned an often slippery approach to the side- and backyard into a generously dimensioned and safe pathway. The large sculptural frames serve both as a mode of screening from the street, and as shelves for pots and decorative elements. The space below the new wall was planted with some favorite trees, agaves and sun-loving perennials.
