Hillside Family Garden
A sliding hillside turned a garden project into an infrastructure project. The whole garden is drawn now; the hill gets stabilized first, and every later phase already has its place.
The whole hill drawn now, built in phases.
This project began as a family garden and changed shape when the hillside did: a failed storm drain, sliding ground, and suddenly the first job was holding the hill. The move that matters came next — instead of shrinking the project to the emergency, I zoomed out with the family and designed the whole property at once.
The full drawing holds everything the family wanted: terraced planting that stabilizes the slope while it grows, a rebuilt driveway with off-street parking, a new deck with raised vegetable beds, a secret path, and room for three kids to roam. Then the phases were set realistically — infrastructure and stabilization first, the garden built toward over time, each later phase already holding its place on one plan, under one permit strategy.
The project is in permitting and construction documents — the drawings that turn the design into something a contractor can price and build. This page will grow as the work does.
