Portola Valley Retreat

This Portola Valley property resides in a native Oak garden teeming with wildlife and meandering paths to enjoy each day.

After observing multiple Native oaks in decline, Terra Ferma Landscapes partnered with the clients to restore an expansive landscape and garden into a series of spaces close to the home, yielding to a wild and native oak woodland landscape in harmony with the environment of Portola Valley. We craftily placed a series of decks, stairs, patios, and spa elements in a thoughtful way that allowed for easy access, as well as visual enjoyment. The end result yielded a native Oak garden teeming with wildlife and meandering paths to enjoy each day.
