No. 15 Front Yards & Driveways · Mediterranean
Concrete Paver Walkway Beside Ribbon Driveway
A modern concrete driveway featuring turf strips pairs with a concrete paver walkway leading to a black front door, flanked by agaves, lavender, and white stucco walls under terracotta tile.
Design notes
Mediterranean design is about shade and thick walls. Look for stucco in warm neutrals, terracotta or travertine underfoot, arches and loggias that throw deep shadow, and gravel courtyards rather than lawn. Water is small and central — a fountain, a rill, a tiled spa — and planting is drought-tolerant: olives, cypress, lavender, rosemary and bougainvillea. Wrought iron, blue-and-white tile and a long table under vines finish the picture.
What to look for
- The sequence from where the car stops to the front door
- Walkway width and the landing at the door
- Planting kept below the windows with a tree for scale
