He incorporated my ideas and wished into developing a design that complements the shape of the lot, house style and street corner location. The plan was executed in two phases over several years - back and side yards 2013-14 and front yard 2016-17. The results are spectacular and can be enjoyed from inside the house and long both streets. While the total project took a long time to complete, it was meticulously planned and developed. AS the plants have matured, the design elements have come together beautifully. It is a joy to drive home or just sit back and relax inside or on the patio. Thank You, Chris. **★★★★★ — elamatx, July 2016** > We hired Chris Corbett Design to transform our front/side/back yards into beautiful spaces that we can use year-round. We could not be happier with the end result! > > Chris is a true professional from the design through construction phases. During design, he was very thoughtful about how the yard design (from layout to materials) would relate to our mid-century modern house. He was conscious of our budget and made decisions to use quality materials and craftsmen where it counted. He took the time to show us extensive samples - either in person or via photos- of all of his design ideas, including landscape plants and materials. > > Chris is happy to offer suggestions when asked, and to incorporate clients' ideas into his designs. He is detail oriented and we were very comfortable with his oversight of the whole project. > > Overall, we would give Chris our highest recommendation! ## Selected projects - [Willet Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/willet-residence-pj-vj~6519726) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Hargadon Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hargadon-residence-pj-vj~6519702) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Vance Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vance-residence-pj-vj~6420879) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Rooney Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rooney-residence-pj-vj~5988277) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Boorkman Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boorkman-residence-pj-vj~3234407) - Location: Davis, CA - Photos: 16 - Description: Modern Garden - [Donlan Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/donlan-residence-pj-vj~2715491) - Location: Sacramento, CA - Photos: 7 - [Autry Montgomerey Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/autry-montgomerey-residence-pj-vj~2378644) - Location: Davis, CA - Photos: 6 - [Heron-Clark Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heron-clark-residence-pj-vj~1218122) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Thigpen Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thigpen-residence-pj-vj~565126) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Small yard for outdoor living. - [Bohling Field Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bohling-field-residence-pj-vj~275415) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Catalina Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/catalina-residence-pj-vj~135293) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Ranstrom Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranstrom-residence-pj-vj~736464) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Nolan Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nolan-residence-pj-vj~263818) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Gates Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gates-residence-pj-vj~143030) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/chris-corbett-design-pfvwus-pf~788548720) ## Ideabooks - [Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/159192732/list/landscape) — 16 ideas - [Collage Park Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125023090/list/collage-park-residence) — 1 idea - [Hussey Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116687121/list/hussey-residence) — 2 ideas - [Zaragosa Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/108332151/list/zaragosa-residence) — 14 ideas - [Rooney Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/102860835/list/rooney-residence) — 28 ideas - [Roche Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/94893842/list/roche-residence) — 6 ideas - [Kavrik Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/86433256/list/kavrik-residence) — 17 ideas - [Fence Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/71912262/list/fence-ideas) — 2 ideas - [Hargadon Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/71569709/list/hargadon-residence) — 3 ideas - [Willet Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/63341761/list/willet-residence) — 9 ideas - [Mac Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/61092707/list/mac-residence) — 15 ideas - [Levy Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57943950/list/levy-residence) — 42 ideas - [Donlan Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55679811/list/donlan-residence) — 22 ideas - [Chapple Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33834183/list/chapple-residence) — 37 ideas - [Autry Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49743655/list/autry-residence) — 19 ideas - [plumshire09's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1677804/list/plumshire09-s-ideas) — 240 ideas - [Vance Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50636155/list/vance-residence) — 26 ideas - [Great Pools](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24454182/list/great-pools) — 11 ideas - [Bucklebury House](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/10853370/list/bucklebury-house) — 52 ideas - [Debbie Schelp](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24189856/list/debbie-schelp) — 61 ideas [See all 60 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/plumshire09) ## Community Q&A **Q: This is gorgeous! What is the finish on the concrete wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The concrete is a specialty mix with davis colors poured against a melamine form. **Q: What types of plants were planted here?** *(in Photo Questions)* That is a beautiful home landscape. I love the small plants and the stone path. My husband and I are looking to hire a landscape maintenance company so that our backyard can look tidy like this one. https://billanddaves.com/commercial-landscape-maintenance/ A: agave Blue Glow, Acer Palmatum Blood Good, Rodgers Red Grape, Cut Leaf Lilac, Geranium Biokovo, Dianella, Feijoa, Sesleria, thats all that I remember. **Q: Очень нравится** *(in Photo Questions)* Good evening!Tell me, please. Loved the pavement, and how it is done? What is the thickness of these tiles, and those that fade away in the distance - they are on a concrete base, or just on the sand lie? they do not budge? I want to do is the paving, with granite, but the thickness of 2 sm... So I can do that? A: This is one monolithic peace of concrete reinforced with 3/8" Rebar. The concrete was poured 3.5" lower around the stepping stones to make room for the decorative Mexican pebbles. The concrete is approximately 7" deep around the stepping stones and 4" deep for the rest of the patio. You could use this same technique to create a stable base for your granite tiles. **Q: lovely patio. what kind of pebbles did you use between the tiles?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Black Mexican pebbles. **Q: Those Fantastic stones** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi, can you tell me the size and name of those pebbles/stones. I'm from the uk so I can't import them but any tips or information on them or how to create a similar look would be much appreciated. Thank you. Great work! A: The stones come from Mexico. They are called Black Mexican pebbles. I used a mixture of 1"-2" and 3"-4" Stones. **Q: What is the fireplace** *(in Photo Questions)* Materials A: This plant was on the other side of the fence from our portion of the work. I did not plant it, but I believe it is a type of escallonia. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-15.*
