IRONWOOD is a Spanish gem in the hillside neighborhood of Los Feliz and is our version of a surgical approach to landscape design. Stitching the new with the old, we’re happy that this garden will soon be teeming with local song birds and beneficial insects. These clients and native plants are the cat’s pajamas.

Even the smallest project can be complicated. Inspired by our clients love for the garden we worked together through several iterations of design and several site visits to uncover the nuances of this charming site. During installation the collaboration continued.
