08 Joe's Residential garden design, Redwood , U.S Tonglu Outscape Landscape Design Studio
Project Introduction This landscape project is located in Redwood, California, on a sloped site of approximately 15,000 sqft. Responding to the client’s aesthetic and functional needs, the design uses retaining walls to create terraced spaces, forming a sequence of small themed courtyards with clear circulation. The entry landscape features a California desert-style planting palette to define the boundary and enhance arrival experience. The first level includes two added structures—one private and detached, the other connected to the main courtyard. The second level offers a meditative water garden, a playful wild-style retreat, and a central viewing garden. The third level, adjacent to the main house, features a Bocce court. Gravel paving, wood furnishings, layered planting beds, and pocket gardens at corners enrich the spatial experience. Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance plants are selected to suit the California 10a climate zone and ensure long-term sustainability.
