Landscaped Entryway with Breeze Block Screen

Aggregate concrete pavers lead past agaves and citrus trees toward a flat roof post-and-beam entry, flanked by a tall privacy hedge and a white breeze block screening wall.

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
