Carla Melson (and Blue Heron Landscape Design )transformed 100% of my typical 1940's  "no-personality" lot and home exterior, into a memorable space that I describe as a 'zen' sanctuary. It is the perfect place for contemplation, relaxation, as well as entertaining. The formal front garden epitomizes Ojai with a native oak and citrus trees and grasses. I have enjoyed the results of this transformation since 2008.
