Orkin - Front Yard - Manhattan Beach

Summary: Orkin - Front Garden - Manhattan Beach At JDS Outdoor Designs, we take pride in crafting beautiful outdoor living spaces and enhancing the beauty and functionality of every home’s landscape. The ‘Orkin - Front Garden' presented the opportunity to showcase our commitment to quality workmanship and innovative landscape design. The Orkin family reached out, and we met with them to plan their new front yard and what they wanted to achieve. Their objectives were to create a front yard that reflected their coastal area and created curb appeal for their home. The carefully took into account the local sandy soil and selected drought-tolerant plants to accommodate the drought factors. We created a landscape plan that took advantage of the native plants, and regional environment to reduce maintenance with the landscape and ensure its sustainability. Within the specimens included in the plan we provided a firmly rooted mixture of ornamental grasses, succulents, and colorful perennials. In addition to beautifying the landscape, the perennials served as a food source for local wildlife, and the ornamental grasses as attractive, rot-resistant, and adaptable specimens. To minimize path and walkway impact to the new garden, we used natural stone pathscapes to provide a transition from the driveway access to their front door while improving accessibility and the aesthetics of the space. We installed low-voltage lights to showcase the landscape in the evenings while providing safety along the various paths of travel. To have the design stand out, we utilized a wooden custom fence to create privacy and fortify the design within the garden frame. The wooden material was reclaimed wood sourced from the local area, further showing our commitment to quality and sustainability. We are elated with how the final design turned out, and happy the Orkin family was pleased with both the design and the transformation of their craft in the vibrant area of Manhattan Beach. Not only did the yard provide relaxation, family gathering, outdoor entertainment space, and aesthetic enhancement of the family residence, but the new garden raised the value of their property. At JDS Outdoor Designs, we are continually striving to turn our client’s vision into a reality in every landscape we take on.
