Lockwood de Forest: William Nelson landscape (Montecito, Calif.)

As with many of Lockwood de Forest's commissions, the houses were designed by some of the top architects in Southern California, and de Forest's landscaping was a harmonious compliment to their work. The formality of the house lent itself to the grounds as well, as seen in this geometric fan-shaped garden for William P. Nelson.
