Garden ponds should hold the viewer with three qualities; they need to be soothing, striking and seemingly ever-present in the way they fit into the beholder's imagination, meaning they need to fit seamlessly, not thrust into a foreign setting. Our philosophy is if it does not fit into a travel brochure or a scenic calendar, it does not fit in your landscape. The vast majority of water features are either a pile of rock and mulch, or they are grass to the edge of the water. Neither of those treatments lend to a natural soothing look. Our waters are deep in sense of place. That place is often from a favorite memory. This particular garden pond is from an image of a mountain meadow, complete with native wildflowers enhanced by our designs which allow us to bring mountain wildflowers down to more populated elevations.

This modern, contemporary, glossy, underwater resin on wood panel is layered with aqua, aquamarine, Aruba blue pigments, white epoxy paste, and hints of sparkle. A cool toned color palette was used to create this multi-layered dimensional seascape.

This is an example of a southwestern landscaping in Los Angeles.

I used to hate this room and it's pineapple wallpaper. Hard to believe, but the paint colors under the wallpaper were even worse. Now it's one of my favorite rooms in my home! I couldn't decide between doing a mountain nursery theme and a night sky theme. So, I made it both, with a bit of a southwestern feel.

The front wooden ramp was built connecting the redone concrete driveway to the entrance. Out of the picture there are steps built in for shorter access. Ramps are ADA compliant.
