The client's inspiration for the backyard was to incorporate the moroccan tile design from the mudroom into a part of the exterior, so we designed a custom screen and integrated it into the pergola. We built a new fence at one side of the property, installed new hardscaping, dining and seating areas, landscaping and seasonal planters into the space.

The clients of the Brooklyn Brownstone backyard requested a serene, open, contemporary design for their space. We kept the color palette simple with greens, grays, and small pops of color from white and pink flowers and a neutral wooden tile. The two comfy lounge chairs and ottomans are from West Elm, and the table belonged to the owners prior to the installation.

Three raised beds make the most of limited growing space in this compact garden. I was invited to do the planting design for this compact hillside project after the hardscape was complete. The home is situated on a corner lot, and a number of very narrow beds and stepped planting arrows wrap the house in a "C" shape. The homeowner was looking for plantings that would be soft and inviting for her children, and welcome birds, bees, and butterflies to the garden. Kelly Greenwood

Don't let the name fool you. We took this once drab front yard into the envy of the row home block. We only had a week to complete this front yard project prior to starting a rather large project but finished it all with a bit of Chicago style. This row homes block, consisted of the exact same lot sizes and layout for all the homes. So we were determined to create something a little different so to stand out form the rest of the pack. This project contains a custom designed floating ipe bench wrapped around one of our stand alone self watering planters. inlay Italian porcelain tile surrounded by Mexican pebbles shows the distinct pattern with defining colors and made this Chi-town hustle project a fun one. We also enjoyed collaboration with the homeowners as this space will be enjoyed for many years to come.

It’s amazing what a garden can do to turn a small space from bland to beautiful! Our redesign included grey fiberglass and aqua blue ceramic pots filled with arborvitaes, knockout roses, boxwoods, gold sweetflag grasses, and a red ‘Bloodgood’ Japanese maple. A centerpiece of this garden is the Restoration Hardware zinc fountain. All of the planters also contain low-voltage landscape lighting for a dramatic nighttime effect.
