The cedar and paving tile patio was imported for this project. The rough pine reclaimed wood slat wall has hidden lighting and bistro lights hang over the patio. The turf is faux and has a thick layer of rubber infill beneath. Perfect for a small todler play area. Matt Stein

The patio off of the garage is covered with a slide wire awning that provides shade in the summer and sun in the winter. An outdoor room hosts dining and leisure and extends the living space of the home. The patio is paved with concrete permeable pavers which allows proper drainage on this small lot.

A sunken garden in south London. The sunken seating, evergreen planting and multi stem trees in this small garden maximises privacy and brings a feeling of lushness to the space. A long season of interest in the planting comes firstly from the peeling bark and ultra long catkins of the multi stem Betula albosinensis ‘Fascination’. The Malus Evereste not only delights with its spring blossom but also carries its tiny crabapples late into autumn. Floor standing Foscarini Gregg lamps bring an intimate atmosphere to the garden.

This is an example of a small modern full sun front yard stone landscaping in Chicago for summer.

This yard was unusable by the resident grownups and unsafe for their kids who wished they had a place to retreat from city hazards. We refurbished the crumbling concrete retaining wall at the bottom. built another wall above that using dry-stacked broken concrete pieces, and a third wall at the top using decorative dry-stacked cement blocks. Between the upper two walls, we carved out a space for a patio, which we paved with Mediterranean style pavers. At the patio's front edge, we built a safety railing of redwood and vertical steel tubes, which gave it a classy look.

A new home needs some time for the landscape to mature, however this house backs onto a greenbelt, so the clients have nature at their door step. An avid gardener and nature lover, this client asked for a lap pool, outdoor shower, patio area, veggie garden and outdoor kitchen area. She received everything plus a water feature and a small pool house with a powder room. Materials include natural stone walls & raised planter, sand-etch concrete and patio slab inlays. Metal containers are used for the veggie garden in the side yard.
