Fairy Yardmother Landscape Design

Thank you for visiting my site. I enjoy bringing you pictures of gardens, plants, and ideas from sunny California. I love sharing after-photos that show how my landscape plans, plant lists and layouts come to life.
As a designer, I use plants to create drama, provide color and form, and compliment the architectural style of your home.
I strive to provide a buffer from sun, street, and neighbors while still fostering connections.
Inspired plant choices and site layout can make any space a success.
I am a Certified Watershed Wise Professional, with techniques to improve soil health and keep more water on your property.
I can help you makeover your patio, paths, planting areas, or entire property. I will consult with you, choose a look you love, and compose a plan and plant list to update your landscape, re-using what you already have wherever we can.
Each project is different because it is about making your space really shine.

Succulents -- uses

I liked this use of succulents in the border around this fountain, at a Hotel in Santa Monica, CA.
The mounds of (mostly) Echeverias fill the space perfectly and give the impression of water, making for an interesting interaction with the pool of water they surround.




The Aeoniums add color and height, but I really think the carpet of Echeverias could stand on its own.
