Menlo Park Retreat

This Menlo Park garden renewal reimagines both the entry and backyard to create a warm, welcoming environment for empty-nester clients. The refreshed front porch is framed by layered, low-water plantings and sculptural containers that soften the architecture and elevate curb appeal. In the backyard, a simplified hardscape and textured planting palette establish intimate outdoor rooms for dining, relaxation, and everyday living. The result is a cohesive, comfortable sanctuary that feels established, inviting, and perfectly scaled to the way the clients enjoy their home.
