The Haven is an Executive Townhome boasting a light-filled, open-concept main floor. Gorgeous light finishes enhance the sunlight that streams in through both the front and back of the house, making the open galley kitchen, living and dining room feel expansive yet warm.

Techo-Bloc pavers were used to make this idyllic small patio sitting area next to the water feature. Engineered in Canada, these pavers can well handle the freeze/thaw that occurs in our corner of the Northeast. www.deckandpatio.com

This newly created backyard sanctuary comprises an in-ground vinyl-lined pool, large patio area, outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, fire pit, two streams and two waterfalls. Plus, the serenity of it all gives no hint of the high-tech energy efficient components supporting it. The sounds of waterfalls, streams and sprays add tranquility to the backyard retreat. www.deckandpatio.com

This Pondless Waterfall project in York, PA includes a 65′ long waterfall and stream and a 35′ side stream and waterfall that will intersect the main stream. This pondless waterfall includes LED lighting throughout the feature and a land bridge about 6′ wide for the lawn mower to cross the water feature. The pondless waterfall will include driftwood and native rock to resemble PA native streams. The feature will vary in width for a natural look as well. This Project also includes a small flagstone patio area above the retaining wall near the water feature with natural stone steps that lead to a larger natural flagstone patio. The upper patio is complete with a pergola as well as a natural stone gas fed fire pit, as well as landscaping around the water feature and landscape lighting for night time viewing.

A peaceful backyard sanctuary featuring a natural gas fire pit surrounded by comfortable seating, paired with a gently cascading stream over natural stone, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and connection with nature.

There was already a slight berm and with the dirt that was dug out of the pond, no fill dirt needed to be brought in for the stream and waterfall. Rocky Mountain WaterScape

Created for the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, partnering with Pacific Outdoor Living we took on the pond while they took on the pool. The goal was to create a water feature with the illusion of the pond flowing into the pool. It might look like it goes into the pool, but the stream on the pond side of the bridge is it’s own self contained unit. The waterfall on the pool side of the bridge is the chlorinated pool water tapped into the pool plumbing. This homeowner can now enjoy a natural koi pond with thriving aquatic plants that give their newly remodeled pool a unique look.

Belgard Paver Patios with a low seating wall and double pillars, defines a restful entertainment space, surrounded by a Lucious lawn and flower bed. Plantings include: Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica 'Gulf Stream'), Forest Pansy Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy'), Bergenia, Lavender (Lavandula), Bee Balm (Monarda), Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) and annual planters of geraniums, marigolds, and alyssum.

This Oceanside home, built to take advantage of majestic rocky views of the North Atlantic, incorporates outside living with inside glamor. Sunlight streams through the large exterior windows that overlook the ocean. The light filters through to the back of the home with the clever use of over sized door frames with transoms, and a large pass through opening from the kitchen/living area to the dining area. Retractable mosquito screens were installed on the deck to create an outdoor- dining area, comfortable even in the mid summer bug season. Photography: Greg Premru
