This area is the entrance to a home, leading from the driveway along the side of the house to the front door. It is a long, narrow space that was originally paved with paving bricks and it had no planting, except for the large palm tree and Cycas at the end. This space had an out-of-date, drab look and was in dire need of a makeover! We spiced things up by adding a sexy curve formed by a water stream and a cobblestone pathway. The water feature at the top of the garden feeds the stream and can be seen from a large dining room window, making it a focal point and a great showpiece. The planting is lush and green with pops of colourful flowers. Photo - Craig de Necker

In this mid-century track house we have removed the lawn, recontoured to the slope to capture rainwater and filled the space with herbs to be enjoyed in the kitchen, and colorful flowers to be enjoyed by birds, bees and other local insects. The traditional lawn can be transformed into a space that recharges our aquifers, and helps keep our oceans and waterways clean and healthy. Providing more biodiversity with our plantings provides habitat to local wildlife such as birds, bees and butterflies, allowing us to live with nature—not dominate it

The flagstone patio and fire pit area used to be a lawn as was the entire upper level of the property. Removing all lawns, we constructed a Flagstone courtyard with Fire Pit and dining area. Above the wall is a meandering path bordered by fruit trees, herbs and perennial flowers.

An intimate park-like setting with low-maintenance materials replaced an aging wooden rooftop deck at this Bucktown home. Three distinct spaces create a full outdoor experience, starting with a landscaped dining area surrounded by large trees and greenery. The illusion is that of a secret garden rather than an urban rooftop deck. A sprawling green area is the perfect spot to soak in the summer sun or play an outdoor game. In the front is the main entertainment area, fully outfitted with a louvered roof, fire table, and built-in seating. The space maintains the atmosphere of a garden with shrubbery and flowers. It’s the ideal place to host friends and family with a custom kitchen that is complete with a Big Green Egg and an outdoor television.

Layered plantings of ornamental grasses, flowering shrubs, and young trees bring seasonal color and softness to the structured architecture, framing the entry with a welcoming blend of texture and contrast.

The homeowner wanted a master en-suite. We took an adjacent bedroom down to the studs, reconfigured, closed a hallway, created a new entry from the master bedroom, added plumbing. Brand new ceiling, floors, recessed lighting and Harvey Windows. The hardware, sink and shower faucets are Delta; the toilet an uber cool-looking and eco-friendly Kohler from their Memoirs collection; Daltile White Subway tiles grace the shower walls while their Matte Black Hex provides contrast on shower floor, and the icing on the cake - er, um, the tile on the floor is Metro Hex Matte White w/Flower Porcelain Mosaic from SomerTile.
