Premium Garden Detached Cottage
Project Overview
An elegant independent backyard ADU retreat. Built with horizontal cedar siding, modern kitchenette block, full space layout, and high-efficiency heat pump systems.
The Challenge
Extremely narrow side-yard access that limited standard excavator equipment and strict Palo Alto tree preservation guidelines around old oak trees.
The OCD Builders Solution
Carried out excavation through micro-machineries and manual hand-digging, protecting the root zones under independent professional supervision, and building framing on-site.
