Moraga

Profile: Moraga by Garden Nest Residential Landscape Reporting from the lovely town of Moraga, this stand-out landscaping job, which happened to be in a backyard, was performed by Garden Nest Residential Landscape and resulted in the new owners having an extension of their home, without having to build! This property exemplifies how you can marry aesthetics and green biophilic practices. With its selection of California native plants, drought-friendly planting, and a custom pathway made from stone, gardening became a colorful and textured transportation as you walk through the space. We embraced the natural contours of the land while creating a tiered garden bed, maximizing space and visual interest. We used locally sourced flagstone for the patio, which provides a sense of permanence and timing with regard to the naturally occurring rocks. The array of permeable pavers we installed for the driveway made sense in support of green practices as well as provide better drainage for water and reduce run off. Initially, the rocky terrain limited planting opportunities; our soil amendment plan allowed for soil improvements. While we had to focus on completing this in a short amount of time unpredictable weather coincided with our installation our crew was determined to work through the rain, adapting our installation methods to maintain quality and efficiently bring the to a close. The transformation to beautiful landscape accomplished and client goals, and we have been told that there has not been a second when the clients has not been smiling since having the ready made sanctuary provided by this landscape. With a calming water feature, the landscape attracts local wildlife while also maintaining a sense of calm. The seating areas lend themselves to family gatherings, as well as quiet evenings framed by green. Garden Nest Residential Landscape is proud of this in Moraga, which is a product of our commitment to craftsmanship and designing with intention. Reach out to us, and our team would be happy to take on the possibilities for your outdoor space - serving communities in Alameda, Danville, Oakland and beyond!
