We transformed this 1950s ranch house's typical suburban slope into a model of regenerative design, replacing the front lawn with a meadow and orchard enclosed by a redwood hedge that provides privacy, food, and wildlife habitat. The rear garden balances comfort with ecology—a custom hot tub, a built-in fire pit with stone seating, and a lawn framed by native plantings that attract beneficial insects and birds. Every plant either provides food or supports local ecology through species chosen for year-round interest. Water features serve as aesthetic focal points, cooling elements, and crucial resources for wildlife. Suburban rewilding at its most sophisticated.
