Beyond a few existing trees, this landscape in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley was a blank slate. The homeowners, a couple with two dogs, found landscape designer Deborah Gliksman on Houzz, then hired her to transform not only the yard but also the exterior of their classic midcentury house. As part of the remodel, the gutters were replaced, which gave Gliksman the rare opportunity to direct the roof runoff water into two new rain gardens. The results of the renovation are refreshing curb appeal, a wildlife-attracting landscape and a yard full of serene spaces where the homeowners can relax and entertain.
