A refined material palette modernizes this conventional 60′s ranch-home’s yard. Repetition of materials like stone, ipe and concrete combine beautifully to form a bold and contemporary garden.
Layered walls perform double duty as both sculpture and a way to define gathering spaces. Contrasting leaf textures and hues harmonize with the hardscape, and plant masses add their colorful statement to the canvas.

Arterra LLP Landscape Architects This is a gas firepit and typically the flame is kept lower than it is in this photo, so we did not. There are firebricks available that you could use to the line the concrete for a different type of installation.

Niki Papadopoulos I use Off Mosquito Incense Coils. They seem to work the best, I am really allergic to them and this has been the only thing that works when I sit outdoors.
1. Houzzers loved the casual contemporary look of this outdoor patio. The fireplace is partially surrounded by a built-in bench with added light fixtures, and cold slate tile contrasts with the terra cotta walls.
I love the fire pit built into a wall. I could see this against the back wall. I love the idea of a fireplace, but don't want a firepit to take up space in the backyard. But built into the retaining wall could be cool.
