Il Bel Giardino Beverly Hills

Before

Before: Privacy pressure without garden authorship

The representative brief starts with a familiar Beverly Hills condition: strong architecture, privacy needs, mature-site expectations, and exterior areas that must feel composed from arrival through evening.

• Privacy needed to feel integrated, not defensive
• Hardscape and planting required a shared material language
• Lighting, irrigation, and drainage could not be afterthoughts

• Olive, cypress, clipped hedge, and terracotta direction
• Hardscape, drainage, lighting, and irrigation treated as one system
• Stewardship plan for hedges, specimens, and evening atmosphere
