In the foothills of Claremont, California, Betsy has embraced the timeless appeal of midcentury modern architecture while creating a sustainable, eye-catching front yard. The standout feature? A bold Tesselle Clover Breeze Block Wall that defines the garden's edge while serving as a stylish privacy screen along the walkway.
Paired with an artfully arranged desert landscape, the wall provides a geometric counterpoint to the flowing forms of succulents, agave, and towering cactus. The combination brings structure and movement together in a way that’s both practical and picturesque. The result is a drought-tolerant front yard that doesn’t skimp on curb appeal—and one that celebrates the architectural roots of the home.
Whether viewed from the street or experienced up close, this project is a perfect example of how breeze blocks can serve both form and function in modern landscaping.
