This home is built into a sloping site overlooking Perch Pond on scenic Cape Cod. Formally, the main living room and kitchen sit atop a plinth housing the other bedrooms and service spaces. The Master Suite is a separate pavilion from the main living space, connected by a sunlit breezeway which acts as an outdoor extension of the home. The house is oriented on the cardinal points, taking advantage of passive solar energy throughout the year.

Seating and fire pit with gravel.
This is an example of a mid-sized contemporary full sun backyard concrete paver landscaping in Houston.

For gentler slopes like this you can use bender boards to separate different plantings & mulch or gravel to help hold water & prevent soil erosion.

After removing the old cross tie retaining wall, we constructed a Belgard Anchor Diamond Pro 9D modular block wall. These blocks include softened contours and provide a beautifully distressed appearance.

Tiered walls made of natural moss rock stone to eliminate small, but difficult to maintain, slope in the front yard. Wall was set on a poured footing, built with cinder block, and faced with moss rock. Plantiings were chosen to blend with the existing landscape and handle sun/shade conditions. Area was converted to drip irrigation for the walls to better control volume of water to the planted areas vs. the sodded front yard area.
