Located in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas, Texas, this project creates a welcoming driveway and arrival area that leads to a relaxing outdoor living area with natural pool shape with bluestone decks and unique boulders. The garden also features a covered pavilion, fireplace, decorative iron gates, steps stones, lush landscaping and shade arbor. Completed with Naud Burnett & Partners.

With views of Nantucket Sound and Sampson’s Island, this Oyster Harbors property holds colorful gardens for summer enjoyment. A large kitchen garden surrounded by apple trees provides a bountiful selection of herbs for the home cook. In the adjacent gardens, vegetables, lime and lemon trees, and tropical plants are mixed amongst vibrant perennials and pear and apple trees.

Inspiration for a rustic landscaping in Philadelphia.

View of the walled terrace through the hedge. By carefully framing views and clearly defining spaces for entertaining and arrival, Ryan Associates achieved a feeling of spaciousness and privacy within the very narrow bounds of this property. Site and circulation challenges were addressed by purposefully delineating paving patterns, planting design, and changes in elevation to define and separate the spaces and their uses. The signature feature, an oval lawn, is set off by a stunning grove of birch trees and a ramped grass path with granite steps – the focal point for an upper bluestone terrace overlooking the space.

This sweet Linden Hills couple has three beautiful grandbabies living out in Northern California...after numerous trips out to visit them and breathe the sweet Pacific air they decided to bring Northern California to their backyard here in Minneapolis! We worked together to create a new contemporary coastal-influenced landscape featuring cedar decking, bluestone cut + patterned tile patio + pathways, louvred privacy fence, and plenty of space for sweet clumpings of grasses, shrubs + perennials. Now those grandbabies will feel even more at home when they come visit!

After finishing the backyard, the front yard and specifically the walkway, required a make-over. A degenerated flagstone walk was replaced with a full-range, patterned bluestone walkway with a header border of Whitacre Greer brick pavers to match materials in the back. In addition, new cut Eden stone stairs replaced old, narrow concrete stairs. Two small wing walls have integrated LED under-ledge lights and, coupled with the path lights, help illuminate the entrance for visitors. Tumbled 5”x10” tumbled Eden cobbles form a mow strip on the front beds for a clean, easy to maintain edge

Complementing the traditional red brick house, Gary Duff Designs incorporated the brick into the swimming pool patio with bluestone border details. Keeping with the classic style for the front entrance, entry gates are set behind a Belgian block apron at the driveway. For added adventure, Gary Duff Designs returned in 2016 for a shuffleboard court installation.
