Side yard turf removal and planting with drought tolerant and California native plants. Installed a dwarf/nana Natal Plum hedge along sidewalk to deter pet owners from pooping on yard (hence the string). 8 month mark after install.

No more cutting the grass or yellow bare patches of lawn. This backyard was created as a pet paradise. The artificial turf is pet friendly and the river rock is to deter the dogs from digging in the gardens. A firepit area was created to relax and enjoy time with family and friends.

2 bed 1 bath modern design in the mountains of Park County, this home was built completely out of shipping containers. Do not let that turn your head. This is fully code approved and built with closed cell spray foam, thermal roof coatings to deter thermal bridging and made with many recycled or upcycled materials.

A coved ceiling did not deter this designer from accentuating the wood blinds with a valance that coordinates with the bedding. Wrapping a wood board in the desired fabric, but leaving the sides to flow allowed for a sleight of hand. Photography: Cynthia Chung

Perched on a knoll atop a lakeside peninsula, this transitional home combines English manor-inspired details with more contemporary design elements. The exterior is constructed from Doggett Mountain stone and wavy edge siding topped with a slate roof. The front porch with limestone surround leads to quietly luxurious interiors featuring plaster walls and white oak floors, and highlighted by limestone accents and hand-wrought iron lighting.

During planting in June: in a slightly shadier area (bed #2), herbs and spring root vegetables (carrots, beets etc.) which prefer the cooler conditions are all planted together. Companion planting of herbs is used to attract pollinators, confuse and deter pests, and boost the productivity of the garden.

Named the "Hurricane Railing" as the insets were designed to resemble the hurricane symbol to deter future storms from visiting this beautiful oceanfront home. The design was carried throughout the home including bar supports and custom curtain rods and holders.

The covered porches have automated sliding patio doors that pocket into the exterior wall. They also have automated roll down screens to deter flying bugs when the doors are open. The patios are stone and stamped concrete. The barrel tile roof completes the Italian design.

Wide-angle view from the entrance of the bathroom. The door to the left of the picture goes into the massive master walk-in closet. I used white grout on the tile floor so it did not deter from the spectacular shower.

When looking out the back window, the eye is immediately drawn to the garden. Acting as a centerpiece, the garden introduces color and texture into the landscape. Given the abundance of wildlife on the property, selecting deer-resistant plants was imperative. The designer carefully selected plants and shrubs that would deter wildlife yet bring color and character to the landscape.
