About This Project

Contemporary Natural Setting This , handled by Michael Rosenberg Landscape Architecture, showcases the perfect marriage of modern design and the beauty of nature. Located in the spectacular landscape of Santa Cruz, this takes a basic backyard and turns it into a beautiful oasis that conveys elegance and serenity. Highlights in this landscape design include a well-considered assemblage of native plants that thrive in the climate and promote local wildlife. The dry-laid flagstone paths navigate the site wreathing through the natural contour, providing a striking way of contrasting the green environment against the natural stone. The commitment to sustainable materials, such as reclaimed wood used in the raised garden beds, and the patio utilizing permeable pavers, demand little consideration of beauty while delivering on active stewardship. One of the primary design challenges here was the sloping terrain, so imaginative solutions were necessary for grading to manage drainage and accessibility. Michael Rosenberg's team addressed these issues well with terraced site levels that energized the landscape while accomplishing an efficient design. Overall, the design provided a wonderful landscape to unwind and explore. The water element serves as a central point, creating soothing sounds while attracting local birds. Clients were very excited the change, noting how the outdoor space beautifully combines a contemporary feel with natural qualities that are conducive to entertaining or just retreating. The landscape does not only increase the property value; it also contributes to the property owner's lifestyle, demonstrating the meaning of outdoor living in the Bay Area.
