Glendale Blvd: Geometric Concrete Art Yard



There's landscaping, there's xeriscaping, and then, at 2677 Glendale Blvd., there's this. I'm going to call it cretescaping.

A lot of people in LA trade in their front yards for a slab of concrete on which to park their cars. I hate this practice because it makes the city a heat-reflecting, water-deflecting, man-made desert. But the people at this house said, "I would really like to come out every morning and see something like 70s super graphics, but in painted concrete. Can we do that?" You can, and you did. I like it.



So if it will end up looking like this, go ahead and create a paved front yard.
