Castro Valley, California: Details make the difference
Sophisticated details fill this garden to the brim
Excellent craftsmanship combined with a striking fusion of materials made jurors take note of Abe Rindal’s Northern California garden, designed by Mathew Henning.
On a flat suburban lot surrounded by looming homes, Henning created a garden filled with sophisticated details that draw the eye inward, away from unattractive views.
Jurors were particularly impressed by the paving designs: Ribbons of black slate dissect larger bands of a multicolored African slate and exposed aggregate paving “to suggest the complexities of circuitry or programming in the high-tech world where the owner works,” explains Henning.
