Landscaping Project: Design and build a contemporary landscape around a custom water feature and client-purchased 1-ton statue as a focal point
In March 2016, Tamate Landscaping found themselves on a challenging project in Laurel Heights, San Francisco. The project? Design and build a contemporary landscape for a peaceful, backyard retreat. The challenge? Move a one-ton statue and a 1,600 pound boulder through a house to the back yard, along with all the other necessary tools and equipment for the project.

Not only did we carry it off without a hitch, the final effect turned out even better than we’d envisioned! The underwater lighting and rippling water really shows off the natural rock sculpture. The redwood fence, seating and deck is a strong contrast to the black basalt patio and dark water features.
