Blackwell Hillside Garden by Rebecca Dye and Hank Helbush of Design Focus International
Each detail of this spectacular Saratoga landscape was considered with its hillside site in mind, from the size of the pool to the choice of antique stone masonry. Working closely with the owner, the landscape architects created a series of intimate garden spaces on three terraces. At the top of the site, entertainment is the name of the game where a bocce ball court and a fire pit take advantage of the site’s commanding views of the Santa Clara Valley. Below the house, a jewel-like pool captures the eye, with its intricate glass-tile and bronze water jets. At its end, a seating area and fireplace are shaded by an arbor covered with climbing roses, adding both fragrance and hue. Visitors descend a series of terraced stone stairs set into the hillside, punctuated by raised beds of strawberries, lavender, artichokes, and citrus. A formal parterre flower garden on the terrace is replanted periodically with colorful blooms in acknowledgment of the changing seasons. Photo by Lauren Devon
Juxtapose Design BuildDuring excavation for this new modern home, large granite boulders rose to the surface from the primordial hillside. Instead of displacing these monoliths from the site from which they were created, they were arranged to define space. A circle of boulders stand guard around a custom built fire pit, providing protection from the wind while offering a place to climb or sit. The extended landscape view from the lawn is kept intact by the introduction of a ha-ha, a traditional landscape feature, that hides the productive garden and keeps it from breaking the view. Native and drought tolerant plantings hug the outer edges of the property for minimal use of irrigation and to visually blend into the surrounding hillside. This project also features a custom ipe bench with integrated lighting, waterjet address numbers with night lighting, and hardscape that complements the form and materiality of the architecture to create a harmonious transition into the horizontal plane.

Salt + Dirt | Outside DesignThe home was perched on a massive expanse of lawn that we "right sized" by composing garden beds in correct proportion to the home.
The Client wanted beauty, opulence, lushness, and sensual delight. Climbing roses waves their blossoms in air, backlight by river water light. Ornamental grasses spray like whitewater from between romantic garden favorites: peonies, daisies, delphinium, catmints.
Each species was selected for its solid performance, be it everblooming blossoms, fragrance, or architectural stature. Repetition, proportion, form and rhythm bring order and ease to the eye, whether something is in flower or not.

Dream Gardens Landscape Design & InstallationThis large newly remodeled home had an elegant contemporary edge when we arrived. The owners wanted structure, color and interesting design where different locations on the large property each had a different feel and purpose. We created a clean semi-Mediterranean contemporary vibe with plantings in the front edged in light colored pebbles. We used Lavender, Nepeta for color and Boxwood Cones for formality and structure. “New Dawn” Climbing roses started framing the mostly horizontal façade of the house with light blush pink blooms and shiny healthy foliage. There was a woodland area in
semi-shade where we used evergreen “Plum Yew” and purple leaved “Forest Pansy” Redbuds, Dogwoods and shade tolerant perennials were added including “Autumn” Fern and Astilbes. We even planted up a newly created long stone retaining wall with different trailing Sedums and Hen & Chicks as they would do in England.
