Design ideas for a mid-sized traditional front yard concrete paver formal garden in Denver.

The homeowners of this old home in Greenwood Village, Colorado wanted two things: a space large enough to hold the dinner and cocktail parties they often hosted for business, and adhering to a strong traditional French design. The hardscape and custom pergolas are the foundation for a large entertaining area large enough for several tables. A Campania International fountain from Birdsall & Co. in a custom-made basin provides the focal point to the dining area. Several levels of retaining walls provide not only symmetry, accentuated by planted cast stone containers and pedestals, but also space for a bocce ball court at the highest level. A built-in barbecue and fire pit surrounding by teak Adirondack chairs make for a more intimate dining and conversation space, balancing out similar 'outdoor rooms' sprinkled throughout the landscape. Gravel pathways are reminiscent of traditional French gardens. Photos by Bryan Kopp

The hardscape in a landscape is often the skeleton of a design, helping create the style and function of an outdoor space. Patios, outdoor fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pathways, and retaining walls in a variety of materials can be every style from the most modern and contemporary to the traditional.

We designed this beautiful space for our client, who wanted more storage and function in her laundry room. Working with this limited footprint, we provided her with plenty of storage, a deep undermount stainless steel sink with granite counter tops, and a clothing rod to dry clothes. In terms of storage, we added a wall cabinet, base cabinet, wall shelving, and a tall utilities cabinet with roll out shelves. Photos by Yogita Chablani
