This project features an intelligently shaped trapezoidal pool, perfect for fitting seamlessly into a narrow backyard while retaining a sophisticated feel. The pool's inviting blue tile interior is beautifully contrasted by expansive, light-toned natural stone paving, which defines the generous lounging area. The visual focal point is the raised water feature wall, which is elegantly clad in shimmering teal mosaic tile and topped with coordinating light coping. A singular, bold sheer descent waterfall cascades into the pool, introducing a soothing auditory element and continuous shimmer. The entire sanctuary is framed by lush, mature landscaping that overflows with vibrant greenery and colorful flowers, creating a tropical, secluded atmosphere. The space is completed by contemporary, curved white loungers, offering a stylish spot for sunbathing, transforming this compact area into a truly private and luxurious escape.

This town home job was a complete transformation from an old, dirty, insignificant front and back yard to living in luxury with the space provided. This job required for us to do a bit of demo, including cutting, and ripping out the sidewalk in the front yard, all pavement and old decking in the backyard, and replacing it with appealing, level pavers all the way around. Along with this beautiful change, we also replaced the fence in the backyard, and put in a nice decorative fence in the front yard. In addition to these adjustments, we provided 4 large very nice pots in the front yard, filled and placed them. Added top soil, sod, river rock, and planted some plants in the front yard. Made sure all pavers were retaining their positioning, and waited time for client to get other renovations, when finished we anchored and placed a pergola between the garage and home and stained it. In short: Demoed job site by removing all concrete, ordered fountain, leveled terrain, created customer-selected custom arbor, placed liner where necessary, built fence in front yard, added mulch, added sand, additional leveling, and pavers in front and back, added metal edging, planted plants, brought in various pots and placed them, added sod, added river rock, received fountain and put it in place, removed and redid fence in backyard, built and stained pergola.

This new construction home was a blank slate. Our clients wanted a seating area to enjoy with their family or friends. As the space is quite tiny, we designed a built-in bench with storage below and a fire pit that converts to a table on warmer days. We planted succulents at the base of the fire pit to soften the paving and planted low water but lush planting along the adjacent wall.

In this Sherman Oaks backyard transformation, we reimagined a compact outdoor space into an indoor-outdoor living experience with a pool and water feature. We added natural finishes to bring in warmth and texture. Walkways paving, stone cladding, and garden beds help define the space and add character. We installed modern outdoor lighting to make the yard usable in the evening. Every part of the design was planned to make the most of the space, creating a relaxed setting that works well for everyday use and hosting.

This compact space allows for a lot of outdoor living options, without feeling too cramped. The homeowners really wanted a pool and spa, but didn't believe their yard was big enough. Not only did they get both by incorporating a spool, they also have plenty of room for seating and dining, lush landscaping, and a lawn where their child and dogs can play! Photo by Craig O'Neal
