Design ideas for a mid-sized contemporary partial sun backyard gravel vegetable garden landscape in San Francisco for spring.

The inspiration for these planter boxes were drawn from the glass blocks used in the facade of this modern home. Cladded in zinc coated copper, this is the same material used as the trim on the home. This material choice and design helps to blend the landscape and architecture together. Photo by George Dzahristos

The new backyard is perfect for entertaining large groups, hosting intimate dinners, or relaxing. Birdhouses and plants line the new space and a pergola shades a table for al fresco dining. A pass-through into the basement allows guests to pull a stool right up to the bar.

Shabby-chic style gray one-story exterior home idea in New York

This custom roof deck in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood features lightweight aluminum decking, ipe planters, an ipe and metal pergola, and ipe benches with built-in storage under the seats. Few woods can match the natural beauty of ipe (pronounced ee-pey), a hardwood with a 30-year life expectancy. These pictures were taken in early spring, before the leaves have filled out on the trees. Plantings include coralbark maples, hornbeams, pink cherry trees, crape myrtles, and feather grasses. The planters include LED up-lighting and automated drip irrigation lines. Read more about our projects on my blog, www.amberfreda.com.
