Landscapes By Carmen

Selected Landscape Design Projects

Different properties call for different solutions.

Explore selected residential landscape, garden, planting, backyard, and outdoor-living projects throughout Culver City, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

The work varies because the properties vary.

Each site brings its own architecture, conditions, priorities, constraints, opportunities, and budget.

The Decisions Behind The Result

A finished photograph captures only the final stage.

The real design work may have begun with much more practical questions.

How can an unused backyard become somewhere people actually spend time?

Which existing plants should remain?

How can privacy be improved without closing the space in?

What material makes sense beside the house?

How can a planting plan provide interest without becoming difficult to maintain?

Where project information is available, the portfolio can share some of the thinking behind those decisions as well as the final result.
