The owners have already completed extensive landscaping, inspired by traditional European landscape design. In addition to having city water and sewer service, they have installed a fully functioning water well to meet all irrigation needs. Walking through the property, one experiences many varied gardens, from small, intimate spaces to larger, formal gardens as one would find surrounding estates in Europe.

The smaller gardens provide quiet retreats, with beautiful, mature plantings all around. One can sit in the shade of the native California oak trees and listen to mockingbirds sing...

...or stroll through the trees, enjoying the peace and solitude of the hills.

The gardens of Claremont Hill provide a more formal outdoor experience and a place for entertaining, while enjoying the spectacular views of Mt. Diablo and Upper Happy Valley.

Tremendous care and attention to detail has created a landscape design full of variety and pleasant surprises around every bend in the walkway.
