Entertaining and enjoying the outdoors is so easy with this grand outdoor kitchen, deck, outdoor fireplace and sitting spaces. Custom fountain, pergola, lots of plants and beautiful details in all of the custom features. Unilock pavers were used with natural stone in the patio spaces.

This was a fun project in which the client agreed to let us mix and blend different pavers we had in stock into the design. Not only was it cost saving for the client, but it allowed us to create this beautiful and unique design for his patio/firepit area.

Our homeowners wanted a garden with a natural feel. We added concrete steppers with dymondia groundcover for a new pathway to the backyard. Low water plantings with a natural feel bring hummingbirds. Drip irrigation and permeable paving. The nasturtiums are from seeds planted by the owner, the leaves are edible. Vegetable beds and fruit trees in the backyard provide a bountiful harvest.

Before shot of northern California backyard. The client's programming requests for the Home Outside online design team included a pool and hot tub, outdoor kitchen, pergola, fire pit, and children's play area - a lot of functions for a small space. Setback issues and prevailing winds also presented design considerations. A few trees and shrubs had been recently planted, but the homeowner was open to relocating them.

This patio and pool space is designed to create a relaxing space for groups of people. The pool also has stone coping along the edge.

Custom colored Luna Fountain (urn) with matching bench set on granite pavers with gravel mulch. Photo taken by Barbara Wilson, RLA A small residential, seaside property located on Saugatuck Island in Wesport was rebuilt after devastating damage by a hurricane. All that remained from the original property was the pool and pool terrace. The house was raised approximately 5 feet to meet new FEMA codes and rebuilt under the design team of the owner, a well-known interior designer. Barbara was part of the landscape architectural team that helped create a sense of place for the new house. The landscape design included the addition of new walls and steps to the front door, new custom fencing surrounding the pool, an outdoor shower, landscape lighting, a custom fountain in the back yard, a sandbox (used as a relief area for the dog) and all new plantings.
