We’ve developed a few garden design layouts for a 6’ x 10’ space. These designs are ideal for replacing an old, established Juniper for instance (their oils are flammable). The designs can be repeated and modified for different sized spaces.
Looking for a design more specific to your individual needs? Contact our Garden Design department at 415-388-3754 or design@sloatgardens.com (Marin and San Francisco only).
