This is an example of a traditional landscaping in San Francisco.

-Water wise, California friendly -The orange flowers are Leonotis (lions tail). -Cottage style flower garden -We added a stepping stone pathway, so people could walk from the sidewalk to the front door and not up the driveway. -The client wanted hot colors: red roses, Leonotis, daylilies, Mexican sage, Prunus (flowering plum tree), Lanatana

The natural stone patio and pathway are defined by varied plantings in the rain garden. The wooden fence provides a sense of refuge and a backdrop for the plants.

This is an example of a small eclectic landscaping in Denver.

Situated in old Palo Alto, CA, this historic 1905 Craftsman style home now has a stunning landscape to match its custom hand-crafted interior. Our firm had a blank slate with the landscape, and carved out a number of spaces that this young and vibrant family could use for gathering, entertaining, dining, gardening and general relaxation. Mature screen planting, colorful perennials, citrus trees, ornamental grasses, and lots of depth and texture are found throughout the many planting beds. In effort to conserve water, the main open spaces were covered with a foot friendly, decorative gravel. Giving the family a great space for large gatherings, all while saving water.

This beautiful lakefront home designed by MossCreek features a wide range of design elements that work together perfectly. From it's Arts and Craft exteriors to it's Cowboy Decor interior, this ultimate lakeside cabin is the perfect summer retreat. Designed as a place for family and friends to enjoy lake living, the home has an open living main level with a kitchen, dining room, and two story great room all sharing lake views. The Master on the Main bedroom layout adds to the livability of this home, and there's even a bunkroom for the kids and their friends. Expansive decks, and even an upstairs "Romeo and Juliet" balcony all provide opportunities for outdoor living, and the two-car garage located in front of the home echoes the styling of the home. Working with a challenging narrow lakefront lot, MossCreek succeeded in creating a family vacation home that guarantees a "perfect summer at the lake!". Photos: Roger Wade

Budget friendly cedar fence boards were used in the interior space. Since the space is unheated - the cedar boards fair well in the moderate climate of Seattle.

Even small spaces need great design. Container and small space gardens - decks, alcoves and patios are all great spots to "green" up with planted pots. Add color, texture and warmth to your small spaces - or drama to a large space - with a well-designed container. Birdbaths, fountains, troughs and more make great containers. Irrigation can be run to your containers or Oyas (water vessels) can be planted in the containers to provide irrigation and to keep your plants healthy.
