A Backyard Transformation:
This yard went from an unused grassy area during the height of a drought, to a drought tolerant oasis. Small backyards with close adjacent neighbors, it's nice to create some privacy. I like to use plant material and trellis' for overhead privacy. In this yard I used the fast growing Tecomaria capensis to hide the slump-stone wall by attaching guide wires to the wall and securing the shrubby vine to the wires. Along the back wrought iron fence I used espaliered Grewia occidentalis. Both shubby vines will be maintained as a clipped hedge for the green backdrop of the yard.
The trellis structure frames the patio and provides a focal point and overhead privacy. Roses and star jasmine will soften the structure. Hidden down-lights in the trellis illuminate the patio at night. A pot fountain surrounded by succulents is the focal point of the patio area.
A sweeping colored concrete walkway transforms into stone as it passes through the patio. The patio itself is constructed of 18 x 18 precast pavers spaced with sunburst pebbles between the pads.
Natural boulders create a retaining wall and are planted with succulents in the natural pockets the boulders create.
A softset stone walkway meanders through the succulent garden from the existing pergola entertaining area.

Dayspring Landscape Design
This tiered garden drops 5' in elevation over its 40' depth. To provide a large outdoor entertaining space, tiered patio spaces were created, and surrounded with glass railings to maintain a wide open appeal. The antique brick of the house was matched in the planter walls and then steel beams and cladding were added to create a contemporary industrial feel. A small green space in the bottom of the garden is surrounded by a Beech hedge and features a water weir. Artificial sod was used to surface this heavily shaded space under a canopy of century oaks.

Bianchi Design
Kirk Bianchi created this resort like setting for a couple from Mexico City. They were looking for a contemporary twist on traditional themes, and Luis Barragán was the inspiration. The outer walls were painted a darker color to recede, while floating panels of color and varying heights provided sculptural interest and opportunities for lighting and shadow.

In this Hamptons styled landscape we used herringbone tiling to connect and draw people to the supersized alfresco space. The interwoven cooking, dining, lounge & occasional spaces are linked by three overflowing urn water features.
The space features an off form polished BBQ bench with sink. The bench is faced with white cladding. Batten screens provide privacy whilst also framing views. The same battens in the pergola to provide a linear shadow feature.
The greenwall to the kitchen splashback window was created by planting of Lady palm begins an interplay of linear and layered planting of green featuring Buxus, Viburnum, Ornamental Pears, Lily Pily, Magnolias, Murrayas and Helichrysum.

Its realistic embossed surface texture is cast from hundreds of natural stone surface textures to ensure a random natural appearance and it is up to four times stronger than ordinary poured concrete, making it an ideal choice for any application.
