Inspiration for a mid-sized timeless backyard patio remodel in San Francisco

This tired, unused San Francisco backyard was transformed into a modern, low-maintenance landscape with site-appropriate plantings enhanced by raised planting beds and a lead-free artificial lawn to replace the existing water-thirsty lawn. I created two separate "rooms" to break up the long narrow yard, and specified full range blue stone for the two small patio areas, connected by a curved pattern of rectangular pavers of the same natural stone. The raised concrete rectangular planting beds were incorporated to bring more movement and interest to the landscape along with gravel bed accents alongside. Some of the existing concrete remained, and was stained with a color to compliment the natural stone. These photos were taken over a three year period.

This Hilltop front yard in the Denver Area was constructed in 2012. The existing "builder" landscape" completely failed at dressing up the front of this deserving house. Clients wanted a clever entryway that was more than a simple walkway. The front planter contains "changeable" features that transition with the seasons. During the holiday season, the brick planter is decorated with a Christmas theme. Design: Ben Browne Browne & Associates Custom Landscapes

A dry stream bed was designed and installed to drain water away from the lawn and house, so the lower border planting bed would not get flooded in the winter. River rock and larger accent boulders were used to create the dry stream bed. It's edged with steel next to the lawn and an existing stone retaining wall on the other. Evergreen shrubs were planted to soften the fence and function as a privacy hedge.

The long slow curve on the walk shows craftsmanship with the bluestone. The dining area with a lattice panel screening those pesky neighbors comes into clear view at this point.
