""We transformed a yard with a chain-link fence and no privacy into an oasis," says Rebecca Taylor, a food stylist, photographer, and content creator living in Ojai, California, with her partner, Max."
""It was a long, narrow side yard that was blank and overgrown, lacking flow," Rebecca describes. And the idea of tackling it after a whole home renovation was overwhelming "to think about the entire design all at once.""
"Rebecca and Max also decided to DIY a solution for an affordable fence, after Rebecca couldn't handle looking at the original chain-link fence for one more day."
""We wanted something that felt like an outdoor living space, but was easy to maintain," Rebecca shares. They decided to dig up the yard and add a drip system to keep the native plants and privacy trees low-maintenance."
Rebecca and Max transformed their neglected side yard into an inviting outdoor space after focusing on their home renovation. They tackled the project in stages to avoid feeling overwhelmed. To replace their chain-link fence, they used reclaimed wood from a neighbor's old deck, purchasing only necessary materials. Their design aimed for a low-maintenance outdoor living area, incorporating a drip irrigation system for native plants and privacy trees, while also repainting their guest studio and home's exterior to enhance the overall aesthetic.
