Travertine terrace paving stones were selected to compliment the warm stucco on the home. They provide a cool walking surface on a hot summer day. The fountain has a travertine surround and bluestone tread stock caps. The fountain features multiple water jets, wall scuppers by Fountains Unique and a multi tiered metal fountain. A built in Wolf grill is located in the perfect place for family gatherings. Accent plantings include Red Cutleaf Japanese Maple, Gold Mound Spirea, Gold tipped Hinoki Cypress and Steeds Holly and Blue Hydrangea. All the plants were selected for the maximum amount of color and texture throughout the year.

Inspiration for a mid-sized rustic full sun front yard landscaping in Houston.

This is an urban single family home situated on a narrow lot that is about 1/8 of an acre and is only 2 blocks from the Pacific Ocean. I designed a completely new garden and installed everything along with the client’s help. The garden I designed consisted of an ornamental grass garden, a xeriscape garden with decomposed granite mounds, fruit trees and shrubs located throughout, a jungle forest garden, and raised brick vegetable beds in the rear. Previously, there was a wood deck covering almost the entire property that was removed by the owner. We installed root guard around all of the walkways. I installed the raised brick vegetable beds and walkways around the vegetable beds. Many of the plants were chosen to provide food and habitat for pollinators as well. Dozens of fruiting plants were located in the garden. So, it is called the “Garden of Eatin”. Landscape design and photo by Roland Oehme

Who’s ready for some Outdoor Adventures???? Summer is FINALLY here even though it rains every single day here in Lancaster County :(. No need to fret though, because when the sun is shining this backyard will be full of life. I mean what more could you possibly ask for? This AMAZING outdoor living space in Quarryville, PA was just recently completed. The project included the installation of paver pool decking, boulder retaining walls, irregular natural stone steps, and hidden sliding board mound. surrounding the pool and paver patio we installed new plantings, mulch beds, decorative river gravel beds, flagstone walkways, landscape lighting, fine grading, seeding, and erosion control to dress up all the disturbed areas.

This is an example of a coastal landscaping in Seattle.

Spring has sprung! A mix of early season ground cover, tulips, feather reed grass and sage all green up quickly and give you garden pleasure as soon as April.

This brick and limestone, 6,000-square-foot residence exemplifies understated elegance. Located in the award-wining Blaine School District and within close proximity to the Southport Corridor, this is city living at its finest! The foyer, with herringbone wood floors, leads to a dramatic, hand-milled oval staircase; an architectural element that allows sunlight to cascade down from skylights and to filter throughout the house. The floor plan has stately-proportioned rooms and includes formal Living and Dining Rooms; an expansive, eat-in, gourmet Kitchen/Great Room; four bedrooms on the second level with three additional bedrooms and a Family Room on the lower level; a Penthouse Playroom leading to a roof-top deck and green roof; and an attached, heated 3-car garage. Additional features include hardwood flooring throughout the main level and upper two floors; sophisticated architectural detailing throughout the house including coffered ceiling details, barrel and groin vaulted ceilings; painted, glazed and wood paneling; laundry rooms on the bedroom level and on the lower level; five fireplaces, including one outdoors; and HD Video, Audio and Surround Sound pre-wire distribution through the house and grounds. The home also features extensively landscaped exterior spaces, designed by Prassas Landscape Studio. This home went under contract within 90 days during the Great Recession.
