Our friend Randy is landscaping his Los Angeles front yard this week. He's stripped out all the over-grown foliage hiding the bones of his classic 1926 architectural gem built by movie studio craftsmen. He's removed the driveway, sidewalk, sod, Birds of Paradise and assorted bushes to enable a remake of the the entire front yard. The gardner has given the scruffy signature rocket cypress trees a haircut.
We'll keep you abreast of developments (as Randy's photo-phone skills allow) as we remotely monitor the installation of a new driveway and sidewalk, privacy foliage, water feature and various plantings in a climate where almost anything is possible. Curb appeal rising. Stand by.
