eichler homes - model home garden - 1957

This model home garden was designed for an Eichler subdivision in Concord, California. It includes several classic Royston design touches - ground plane patterning, an umbrella shade structure, and a free standing screen . The partial transparency of the screen make it a particularly nice example of its type. Note how important the shade from the umbrella is in this new suburban yard. It will take several years for the sapling trees to develop a significant canopy that can provide an equal amount of protection.
