Craftsman Flip
A renovated craftsman landscape Design Los Angeles, California

This full-property redesign elevates a classic Los Angeles Craftsman home with a modern, low-maintenance landscape crafted for everyday living and effortless outdoor entertaining. The design blends clean geometry, drought-tolerant plantings, and warm textural materials to complement the home’s architecture while maximizing usable space across the front yard, side yards, and backyard.

​

The front yard becomes a welcoming garden entry with a concrete walkway, DG path network, fire pit with integrated seating, and a sculptural boulder fountain. Existing mature trees are preserved and framed by a refreshed planting palette, adding scale, shade, and an established sense of place.

​

In the backyard, a new pool and spa create a refined retreat, complete with a concrete deck, lounge areas, and garden pockets that soften the hardscape. Concrete stepping pads and gravel pathways create barefoot-friendly transitions throughout. The ADU’s dedicated outdoor space includes a serving window, cocktail table, and lounge seating; ideal for guests, work-from-home flexibility, or rental use. A discreetly screened equipment zone maintains a clean visual experience.

​

Thoughtfully layered lighting and furnishings tie the project together, enhancing evening ambiance and extending usability. Overall, the design merges Craftsman character with a streamlined, contemporary outdoor lifestyle—delivering a cohesive landscape that is beautiful, functional, and distinctly Californian.
