This home is located in the Woods Cove development in Santa Cruz. Strict guidelines for landscaping strive to maintain the existing natural beauty and character of this heavily wooded community. Patios, walls, and other hardscape elements are required to have a low-profile and fences are split rail to allow for the unrestricted movement of wildlife. On this project, stone and decomposed granite were used for patios and walkways. The plant palette is largely native, consisting of oak, redwood, manzanitas and ceanothus.
