We were delighted to support our wonderful client Rachel Smith in the creation of her soulful Burlingame garden, recently featured in the Home & Garden section of the San Diego Union Tribune. We rebuild the garden stairs with natural stone steps, and address erosion issues in the garden. Rachel describes her garden as the product of collaborations with many artists and artisans, and we are grateful to have contributed to a project that blends art, nature, and community.

    About the Authors


    Hi, I am Anne-Émilie. I am  landscape designer and co-founder of Gravel To Gold, Inc. I love transforming outdoor spaces into places of beauty, wellness, and connection. My travels have taken me around the world, sparking a love for art, culture, and the vernacular. I have been writing in English since 2002, when I discovered my raison d'être  through an essay titled Hometown: A Defining Landscape Experience, a piece that affirmed my connection to the land as a visceral, lived experience through which I find unwavering stillness.
