2015 Southwest Regional Design Award Winner! After being told by three pool companies that a pool could not be built on this property, we were contacted. The solution for this project was obvious. The only feasible location was the front of the house. A stucco wall that provides privacy from the street was designed to match the home’s entrance. The wall, as well as the stepping stone entry to the house, provides a dramatic entrance to this residence. As a visitor comes through the gate, they see a 15 foot by 3 foot reflecting pool on their left punctuated by a fire bowl on the far end. In order to get to the front door, visitors actually walk across the stepping stones in the reflecting pool. The pool size was limited by the available space. Walkway space was not of high importance due to the amount of shade in the area. Three sheers on the raised beam are the only water features in the pool yet provide substantial noise that the client desired. By using varying heights of raised beam, multiple levels of landscape planters were created. Both the pool and reflecting pool have all tile interiors, complete automation, and a floor cleaning system. The patio surface is stamped concrete behind the smooth limestone coping.

The front yard and entry walkway is flanked by soft mounds of artificial turf along with a mosaic of orange and deep red hughes within the plants. Designed and built by Landscape Logic. Photo: J.Dixx

This Orange County landscape front yard looks lush, but is saving water! The front yard's turf has been removed and replaced with mulch. and simple step stones Our drought tolerant Orange County landscapes use drip irrigation to save you water! Each head is controlled by a water saving smart sprinkler timer system. Xeriscape can still look lush with small low water fruit trees!

Once visitors pass the screen wall, they're welcomed by a fountain, landing deck and seat wall. These elements enclose the front door, creating a more intimate feel even though the door is set like a stage above street level. photo Mike Heacox / Luciole Design
