How California Coastal does a front landscape
The moves that make a front landscape read as California Coastal rather than generic. This is the vocabulary the render works from.
- 01Mature olive tree or two — multi-trunk, never trimmed into hedge form — as the dominant front-yard gesture.
- 02Low coastal-tolerant ground cover — silver carpet, blue chalk sticks, succulents in restrained drifts. No annual color, no impatiens, no marigolds.
- 03Decomposed granite or shell-grit walkway, no mortared edging — soft transitions into planting beds.
- 04Cor-Ten steel raised planter beds when grade demands them; bluestone slab stepping pads.
- 05A single specimen agave or aloe as a sculptural counterpoint to the olive — never clusters, never decorative cacti grouped.
What moves the needle
Ground cover, a single specimen anchor, and the path material do more for curb appeal than any amount of bedding plants. Style-appropriate, climate-honest planting reads as considered; a generic lawn reads as neglected potential.
Cost reality
Landscape is one of the most cost-efficient transformations — planting, hardscape edges, and a specimen tree can reset the entire first impression for a fraction of a structural remodel. Render it to see the front elevation reframed.
