VanBrouck & Associates: Inspired by the classical architecture of Palladio, this Italian villa was designed with a procession of beautifully proportioned, ordered spaces, with strong axial sightlines, to draw the eye through the spaces and beckon the individual to explore. Beautifully sited on acreage, the interior and exterior spaces are thoughtfully orchestrated to interact together, and to connect to the land. Stone loggias, at the entry, rear, and side of the residence, visually and literally extend the interior living spaces. View-lines extend through the house from the open courtyard and infinite landscape vistas of the front to the wooded terrain of the rear. Gentle cross-breezes flow and natural light streams into the rooms from a series of French doors lyrically arranged throughout the spaces.

With mountain views as the backdrop, this backyard retreat features a softly cascading stream, curved turf path, and layered plantings — all anchored by natural stonework that blends seamlessly with the woodland setting. A timeless design for peaceful living and effortless flow.

Keep your home bright, while you lunch in the shade outside. Separate zones allow these homeowners to configure their Equinox any way they want. Close the louvers over the dining table, and open the louvers next to the house to let the sun stream through the windows. Or, as the day wears on and the sun get too unbearably hot, close those louvers too to keep the home cooler and the AC bills low!

For this Deck and Patio project, pink petunias add a bright statement away from where the waterfalls spill and seep into the ground. Close to the waterfall area we added grassy plants like Liriope that thrive in moist soil. www.deckandpatio.com

This project included installation of a 25′ pondless waterfall in York, PA. The waterfall and stream consist of approximately 6.5 tons of weathered limestone boulders and river gravel. Definitely one of my favorite water features to date. The crew knocked this one out of the park. Built not only for the beauty and relaxation, but also as a place for the grandchildren to enjoy when they come to visit. As you can tell from the video this truly defines living the water feature lifestyle, as grandfather and grandson enjoy the ambiance and flow of cool running water on a hot summer day.

To update this dated backyard pool area, the key was replacing the old wood retaining wall area.

A tranquil stream winds through hand-set boulders, flowing gently beneath soft lighting—an invitation to pause, breathe, and be.
This is an example of a mid-sized transitional partial sun backyard river rock and wood fence waterfall in Denver for summer.

Native plant material surrounds a natural stone water fall. These will help to complete an outdoor living environment by adding some privacy for both views into the space and competing noise.

Container water gardens are beautiful and require less frequent watering than their soil counterparts. To keep mosquitoes away, add a small fountain (they won't lay eggs in moving water), add a small fish or two like rosy reds (they eat the larvae), or simply toss in a mosquito dunk.
