Patio - mid-sized traditional backyard gravel patio idea in Los Angeles with a fire pit and no cover

Lagoon-side property in the Bel Marin Keys, Novato, CA. Entertaining and enjoying the views were a primary design goal for this project along with replacing the lawn with CA native and low water plants and a total renovation. The project includes a large camaru deck with built-in seating. The concrete steps and pavers lead down to the water's edge. I included a sunken patio on one side and a beautiful Buddha statue on the other, surrounded by succulents and other low-water, contemporary plantings. I also used Dymondia ground cover to create a natural pathways within the garden. Plants shown: Bush Germander (Teucrium fruticans 'Azureum'), Sea Lavender (Limonium perezii, and Blue Oat Grass.

Light hardwood floors flow from room to room on the first level. Stained wooden beams contrast beautifully with the crisp white tongue and groove ceiling. The natural light floods this spacious living room and flows into adjoining kitchen and office/homework nook. The massive brick fireplace adds rustic charm and warmth to the crisp interior colors.

As we turn back toward the home, we see stucco on the back of the home's exterior protects the home from fire, supporting the ember-repelling efforts of the tile roof. Cozy but flammable outdoor seating cushions can be stashed in the nearby shed to remove the greatest danger visible in this picture. While it looks close at this angle, a five foot gap between the hedge and the home provides defensible space. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography
