Given the circumstances we find ourselves today this type of design is essential as it focuses on the wellbeing of both people and nature. **Comment from Foch Family Landscape Architecture:** > Thank you for the kind words Hilary!

A: The interior designer worked with the client directly to finalize most of the furniture, but I believe this is the Avenue Lounge Collection from Southport Outdoor Living. **Q: Beautiful !! What is the paint color ?** *(in Photo Questions)* missbridget6@gmail.com A: I unfortunately do not have the colour as the architect worked with the client directly to specify the paint for the house and garage. **Q: can you please tell me the paint color on the house exterior** *(in Photo Questions)* Color of exterior A: I unfortunately do not have the colour as the architect worked with the client directly to specify the paint for the house and garage. **Q: is the hot tub in-ground? or above ground framed in?** *(in Photo Questions)* If it’s above ground with the decking over the edge, can you please let me know if it requires a particular type of tub and who makes it. Thanks! A: This would be considered an inground pool made of Fiberglass by Leisure Pools of Toronto. **Q: Need help with backyard lawn landscaping ideas!** *(in Landscape Design)* Hello! First timer here. We are re-doing much of our landscaping and I need help! Home located in San Diego county, inland, Zone 10a. We have a big backyard area with spotty, ugly grass. I'd like to resod or seed but make the grass area much smaller. The issue is that it is under several large trees and parts are in full shade. I'm worried that extensive soil prep will hurt the trees and I'm not convinced that grass will do well except for the middle area where the sun shines through. We also have three small kids who play outside all day and want to have a big open space for them. Any ideas? Synthetic turf is not an option, too expensive and we will only be in this home for less than 5 years, not worth the investment. I would love to hear some design tips! Thank you :) A: Hello Bob, Seems like you have a fun project on your hands. I can't speak much to the plant selection, as I am from all the way up in Canada, but I would recommend considering a rock garden for under the trees with some native shade tolerant plants and a focal element. The rockery would play nicely off of the existing concrete walkway, would be low maintenance for you and would fill in the space where it is hard for things to grown anyways. You could then utilized the pre-existing lawn for the children to play. If you are selling after that 5 years, this would add some curb appeal, would be nice for potential buyers and is easily altered if it is undesirable for them. However, this recommendation does not consider where the house is in relation to the yard and your desired 'flow' or usage for the space. Just food for thought.
