Design ideas for a large transitional full sun backyard formal garden in Los Angeles.

A tiny outdoor space was made to feel larger by replacing the lawn with paved paths and a courtyard. New steps replaced a sloping path to the front door. This home now has great street appeal and the courtyard provides a pretty flower filled living space throughout the year. There is even a small vegetable box squeezed in.

The local climate ensures that the outdoor eating area off the main dining room is often enjoyed.
Inspiration for a timeless backyard patio remodel in Miami with no cover

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.

Add a little glam to your living room with the sleek style and chic rose copper finish of this Adelina LED Arched floor lamp. An adjustable shade allows you to focus light where you want it and a heavy-duty weighted base keeps the lamp in place. For any modern home or office, this arched floor lamp is the perfect addition to give your space a bit of light and shine.

This project represents the evolution of a 10 acre space over more than three decades. It began with the pool and space around it. As the vegetable garden grew, the orchard was established and the display gardens blossomed. The prairie was restored and a kitchen was added to complete the space. Although, it continues to change with a pond next on the design plan. Photo credit: Linda Oyama Bryan

Pool - mid-sized tropical side yard brick and rectangular pool idea in Miami

Bluestone paving and Oakfield stone walls complement the home’s brick and stone exterior. Mixed plantings of roses, boxwood, lilacs and hydrangea have sentimental meaning to the clients. The irrigation system was designed with drip heads in the shrub and perennial borders, soakers on trees, and spray heads for the lawn.

Ph Mattia AquilaPEACE AND TRANQUILLITY IN A GARDEN ON LAKE GARDA The relaxing sound of a stream provides the backdrop for this luxurious garden where peace and tranquillity reign. Stefano Filippini designed, and then, with the support of Cherubini Vivaio del Garda, created a garden set on two different levels. The first level is dominated by the swimming pool, by the green of the aromatic herbs and by an enchanting view over the second level below, characterised by flowers and plants in soft, elegant shades and by a relaxation area to fully enjoy the silence and privacy of this prestigious garden.
