“Cover my earth, Mother, four times with many flowers”

Zuni Prayer for rain


“for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return”

Genesis 3:19

Trees, plants, and dirt help me stay grounded. The garden and yard are my happy places. I’ve helped design and landscape yards, but I think, humbly, mine is the best.

Landscaping in Beverly Hills

This corner of the yard had been left blank for years due to drainage issues. After fixing the drainage problems, I landscaped the area with drought-tolerant and native plants.

Landscaping in Altadena

This yard also had drainage and runoff issues. The front yard was an undefined dirt hill and mud would cover the walkway when it rained. I created drainage around the walkway and divided the yard into steps with two stone retaining walls. This project also included irrigation and some landscaping.
