MICHAELSON

This West Seattle residence sits high off of the street and overlooks the Puget Sound.   Existing elements included a new concrete sidewalk and steps, a concrete patio and several rockery tiers.   We installed a dry creek bed which meanders down the side of the walkway leading down to the Colorado-red flagstone patio.   We finished the patio by surrounding it with Italian Cypress, hellebores, agaves, lupine, and succulents.   The upper concrete patio was covered with more flagstone, as well as, a fish mosaic which was great fun to create.   Sago palms, Hebes, and barberry completed the planting scheme for this Santa Fe/Mediterranean crossover landscape located six minutes from downtown Seattle.
