Jane & Dene, Spyglass Hill, Newport Beach

An English garden replete with boxwood borders and lots of roses was high on the wish list of these clients for their renovation project. After a complete exterior remodel, the entire front slope was planted with iceberg roses and boxwood; the crisp white flowers highlighting the white siding and dark grey stone finishes. The result is understated and elegant.

Behind the gate is the clients’ favorite outdoor room where pink and yellow roses surround a central fire pit and stone patio. Grass pathways connect the boxwood framed borders.

From the backyard stone patio spectacular ocean views are accompanied by the music of a fountain and the fragrance of roses.
