A unique design combining container gardens, landscaping and hardscapes created a poolside oasis that opened endless possibilities for enjoyment – with much-needed space for lawn chairs, room for sunbathing and a setting that offered sunshine and shade. The traction stone hardscape provides a safe, fully functioning pool deck, while visually connecting all outdoor living spaces.

Not everyone has the backyard that suits a hardscape patio. Those situations sometimes call for a different approach....especially in this case! We built a second-level deck and pergola for this family outside of Greenfield. Cedar all around! They also wanted to retain their beautiful views. So we used a cable railing system that is safe and effective at preventing falls, but also perfect for maximizing those views. I think it turned out well, don't you? Sun-Dried tomatoes anyone?

Plantings frame the front entry. The clients of this project desired a cohesive landscape where neighborhood children could gather and play and adults could also congregate for large parties. A pool and paved drive court provide multiple areas for play while a raised terrace allows for supervision as well as separation. Although the circulation was driven by the needs of the children, it does not impose on the adult spaces. The landscape provides enjoyment for the whole family in a safe and beautiful environment.

The backyard had a drainage gully and the home owner could not setup the kids playground on a level surface. So we built a retaining wall filled it in with the proper materials and topped it off with 8 inches of playground mulch. Now the home owner had a level and safe area for his kids playground.

This award-winning project in Tucson's Catalina Foothills has modern massings of plants, a fabulous pool for lounging and sunning and graceful steps leading down to an edible kitchen garden and a unique use of space makes this a welcoming landscape to spend time in. LED low voltage night lighting created a safe and interesting night scape!

Adding colorful lights to large trees is fun for the holidays. We can help with set-up and removal so that you stay safe.
