Respite Blue
A wonderfully rewarding project in Palo Alto, California during stressful times of drought. Santa Clara County provided significant monetary incentives to remove water consumptive lawns, plant xeric native plants and install a simple grey water system.
Transformed from a conventional lawn with bordering ornamental perennials, this refreshed front yard invites neighborhood interaction with an open “peekaboo” screen or subtle privacy with screen closed.

Hardy native perennials provide colorful pop to simple wood, steel and smooth concrete hardscape elements.
Custom designed, fabricated and installed by Allen Tagestad, our master craftsman. The redwood and steel screen glides open or closed depending on desired feel and function.
Succulent texture, coal crusher fines and screen form combine to provide sophisticated yet low maintenance style.
Peekaboo!
