In 1925, the Hardens of Palos Verdes hired Olmsted Brothers to direct “a large amount of plantings” at their estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. was already deeply involved in the planning of Palos Verdes, so much so that he moved there with his family. Olmsted Jr would create “a pergola, summer houses and walks around the beautiful quarter-mile stretch of the small bay between Portuguese Point and Inspiration Point." For the Harden Family.
