Just posted: a garden tour with landscape designers Annemarie and Matthew Hall, pictured with son Ethan, 9, and dog Ozzy at their ever-changing Laguna Niguel home. As Emily Young reports, ‘The Halls’ personal landscape doubles as a professional laboratory, a place to test the ideas they suggest to clients.’
