Patio - contemporary backyard gravel patio idea in Los Angeles

Native perennials and ornamental grasses means less maintenance and lower water consumption. Large rocks and the peaceful sculpture nestled among the plants suggests balance and harmony. The color palette is vibrant and modern, giving it a warm but contemporary look.

The combination of the native Japanese style of the landscape and the modern style of the outdoor furniture allowed the space to really come to life once complete.

The front walkway is a low-maintenance collection of ground covers, grasses, and blooming perennials. The various river rock sizes create texture as a dry creek bed running through the front yard, leading to the backyard gathering space. While there is plenty of flower color and bee activity in the summer, a snowy mantle on the ornamental grasses, boulders, and shrubs, keeps it visually interesting in the winter.

The backyard of this brick home on University Hill in Boulder was in need of renovation to bring together awkward angles, window wells, and uneven surfaces. This tight space was not inviting and rarely used. The homeowners were inspired by turtle shells and desired bamboo plants for their Asian aesthetic. Clean lines and light creams have replaced the mix-mosh of haphazard stones and unset redstone pavers. Now the space feels intentionally designed and welcoming.

The homeowner of this midcentury modern residence in Boulder is originally from Australia and wanted the landscape design plantings to be inspired by her native land. End result was practical contemporary aesthetics, economical concrete dimensional-cut steppers, and a fabulous plant palette of ornamental grasses, hardy ground covers, and Colorado-friendly succulents.
