Apartment Courtyard Renovation

Here is a before and after of another relatively quick project. This client was renovating the front of this apartment to bring it into the 21st century (or the 50s depending on how you look at it) and needed a quick fix for the front court area which had previously been grasses and periwinkle. This site faces east but gets plenty of sun part of the day so we decided on a mid-century, Palm Springsesque planting scheme of a Washingtonia palm, river rocks (nicely provided by the client from their own home), ajuga and a hedge of heavenly bamboo. The owner found the palm on Craig's List! They rented the one unit that was available immediately after this renovation was finished.
