A dream client with a passion for the environment helped make this project one of the most important of my career. Solar powered throughout and featuring a unique selection of water wise plants, it includes a dining pavilion with vertical green wall, banquet table custom-built using seven types of recycled wood, a sunken fire pit, meditation retreat and a pool with an underwater lounge.

This was a fun project. The client wanted a pizza oven and outdoor kitchen. We had previously done the flagstone patio for him, so we were excited to work with him on the next phase. He actually shipped the Pizza Oven in from Italy. We designed and built the space aorund it, and faced it in a veneer flagstone. We extended the Pergola out and designed it with low maintenance Fiberglass columns. We also hid the landscaping lighting in the pergola as night lighting for the kitchen. Another focal point in the yard was the outdoor fireplace and flat screen TV. It was a special Flat Screen HD TV designed for outdoor use. We even installed surround sound. It is a pretty magical space at night. This project was featured on HGTV's Ground Breakers Series. Mark Schisler, Legacy Landscapes, Inc.

A complete contemporary backyard project was taken to another level of design. This amazing backyard was completed in the beginning of 2013 in Weston, Florida. The project included an Outdoor Kitchen with equipment by Lynx, and finished with Emperador Light Marble and a Spanish stone on walls. Also, a 32” X 16” wooden pergola attached to the house with a customized wooden wall for the TV on a structured bench with the same finishes matching the Outdoor Kitchen. The project also consist of outdoor furniture by The Patio District, pool deck with gold travertine material, and an ivy wall with LED lights and custom construction with Black Absolute granite finish and grey stone on walls.
