Detail of the new fire pit and seating area. We also provided design input on the new outdoor furniture. This garden had great bones - it just needed some space planning and a little TLC. We removed an old and not very attractive rose garden to create a new decomposed granite seating area with a custom fire pit and some olive trees. The rest of the garden got a major landscape re-do, with low water plants, lawn area replaced with Kurapia, drip irrigation and LED landscape lighting. The clients are delighted with the new space and what with the lighting and firepit, can really enjoy this gorgeous garden!

This modern landscape w warm inviting touched brings the owners personal touches into play. We used Mediterranean plantings w majestic fruitless olive trees, plenty of native grasses, succulents and perennial color to surround this warm modern home. Many creative touches including a driveway turnaround parking area with synthetic lawn and concrete strips, subtle stone water features, steel and wood trellises, inset tile paving and imported antique wood doors were selected and placed in this landscape.

Family friendly landscape featuring a large, partially covered composite deck, a kid's play space with a seat wall that can also be used as a fire pit, new landscaping and a large lawn for play time. In addition, the new paver path makes trash days a breeze while the paved side yard doubles as a vegetable garden and more play space. The upper yard is landscaped with native and drought tolerant plants and the foundation features colorful perennials.

Jasmine, bougainvillea, figs, olives and a sizable vegetable garden and orchard round out the planting profile. Not to mention the ultra low-water NO-MOW lawn. Used regularly for dogs & soccer.

The cedar tub relates to the cedar deck, benches and beam screens. This view is from the door of the ADU looking out into the space. The greenhouse like material we used on the fence acts as a changing art piece where the shadows and lights interact with it. I designed it to be modern Shoji like screens.

No yard is too small for a pool. This “plunge pool,” is fed by a waterfall and is perfect for lounging, staying cool, and listening to the sounds of the woods to relax. A plunge pool is a small, shallow pool built for the purpose of lounging, wading, and cooling off instead of for swimming and exercising. Some homeowners prefer them because of their lower costs to build, smaller sizes, easier maintenance, and reduced water requirements. Photography by John Wiese
