I know, I know, it's hard to believe that this is actually concrete. All of it. Call me, I'll grab my mortar sprayer and the imagination station will come on down!

When we envisioned the new landscape within the outdoor living space at Solana Beach Coastal Oasis, we imagined we were sitting poolside at a lushly planted Baja Zen style retreat. The owners of this Solana Beach home wanted plenty of space for outdoor dining and lounging by the pool. We enjoy creating innovative outdoor spaces for clients that can check both boxes. The outcome of this serene coastal landscape design has just the right combination of sleek and rustic elements, while being low maintenance. This outdoor renovation also included some eco-friendly upgrades. We renovated an existing sprinkler system so that it uses 60% less water than traditional systems. To keep it easy for the client, we added a custom Ipe wood pool cover box that also serves as a bench. This box contains the solar pool cover that was a challenge to store and an eyesore in the scenery. We introduced succulents and other low water plants in order to reduce the amount of water that is typically required to keep landscapes thriving in Southern California. Additional Design Elements: Potted plants including Citrus and Japanese Maple trees Custom Redwood entry gates and privacy fence Custom Ipe wood bench box that also stores the unsightly solar pool cover Fire pit table installed for enjoying cool evenings Stone veneered outdoor BBQ Stone veneered columns and retaining walls Pool with waterfall Spa Stained concrete walkways and patios with inlaid stone bands Low voltage lighting Bistro lights Teak patio furniture Eco-Friendly Upgrades
