Concrete Walkway Flanked by Breeze Block

In this mid-century modern front yard, a concrete paver walkway leads past foundation planting with agaves and citrus toward an orange entry door, flanked by a breeze block screen and post-and-beam flat roof.

Design notes

Mid-century modern design lines everything up with the house. Look for flat roofs and post-and-beam overhangs, walls of glass, breeze-block screens, terrazzo or large concrete pads with gravel joints, and a rectangular pool set square to the architecture. Planting is sculptural and sparse — agave, yucca, olive, citrus, a Mediterranean fan palm — and colour comes from a single accent: an orange door, turquoise water, a yellow umbrella.

What to look for

  • Three layers: canopy, shrubs, groundcover
  • How hardscape and planting share the edges
  • Plants suited to the climate, not just the photo
