WATERFRONT BLUESTONE
FRont + BACKYARD
SACRAMENTO, CA | 2022
A playful bluestone walkway surrounded by soft grasses and flowering native perennials connects two existing paths and improves views and access to the lakefront. A steel retaining wall creates more level ground for occupation, circulation, and plantings, while access to the boat dock is improved with custom steel and bluestone steps. The front yard has also been updated with shade-tolerant native plants.
