Santa Barbara Landscaping

Brian and I liked the landscaping for this yard on Paseo Cameo.




I especially liked these low rounded bushes (above) near the steps.


I love star jasmine and whatever that ground cover is.



Stamped concrete




This house was just off of Shoreline Drive.

Landscaping Inspiration

In general, I like the use of bushes and plants in different colors and heights. I would like to incorporate Santa Barbara stone in the plantings as well.
