In their words
βThe rock wall is a bit overbearing and needs some greenery to soften visually and maybe some sort of climbing or creeping foliage. There is a parking space at the top of the stairs along the top of rock wall. β
The homeowner uploaded 14 photos of their yard
We rebuilt their garden from above
Hadaa synthesised an aerial map of the space from the photos β the foundation every design is built on.
