Meville Residence
For the Meville Residence in Mission Viejo, West Hills Masonry designed a welcoming outdoor environment that balances natural softness with architectural precision. This project pairs warm greenery with cool-toned masonry to create a timeless curb appeal and functional outdoor living space. Thoughtful hardscape details, layered plantings, and clean geometries bring structure and flow to this corner lot, turning a standard entryway into an inviting, elegant experience.

This Mission Viejo residence was transformed into a natural sanctuary with structured gray stonework, flowing walkways, and lush plantings. The clean paver patterns lead visitors seamlessly from the street to the front door, while the raised stone walls and columns frame the property with elegant definition. Integrated softscapes add color, texture, and movement, softening the edges of the hardscape for a balanced and welcoming aesthetic.
The homeowners envisioned a front yard that felt refined yet approachable—a space where strong architectural features complemented low-maintenance plantings. We created a front walkway and courtyard framed by stone columns, added retaining walls for layered plantings, and incorporated vibrant greens and accent shrubs for a natural but polished finish. The result is a front yard that elevates both curb appeal and daily usability.
