An evergreen and semi-evergreen planting mix creates the living seperation between the driveway and the pedestrian walkway.

Large box trees helped to add immediate height to the project and give it a sense of maturity in a very short period of time.

Pockets of stone veneer add a rustic charm to this decorative retaining wall in the front yard.

Travertine entry walk with low voltage path lights and cobalt blue pots that add that extra pop of color.

An eclectic mix of desert adapted plant selections successfully provides a wide pallette of not only various evergreen hues but varied texture also. Complemententing the horticultural ecotone, the plants are paired with the rugged boulders and dry stream bed.

As one exits the house and front courtyard, the view through the landscape even borrows vistas from the neighboring landscape allowing for a complementary blend.

One of the cleanest trees available, a young mastic tree stands as a focal point a the end of the narrow courtyard.

Nestled into the side of the porch, the timeless design of the fireplace provides a wonderful ambiance to the large covered porch.

A perfect secluded spot for the portable BBQ was created next to the fireplace between two of the supporting columns for the covered porch. This space saving strategy helps keep everything in its place and allows maximum use of the shaded porch.

An artificial turf lawn in the backyard gives the perfect green foreground to the golf course views behind the lot. Raised planters built around integrated boulders give vertical interest to the yard.

A young slipper plant, already showing character, will eventually fill this planter with curving, twisting, sinuous lines of interst, punctuated by small red flowers shaped like a 'Lady's slipper.'

A detail of the integrated boulders worked within the raised planters with trailing rosemary and hearts and flowers groundcover trailing over the edges.

A seatwall with an integrated pot shelf provides a perfect finishing element for the northern edge of the back patio, effectively keeping the gaze within the yard and the golf course, away from neighboring properties.
