The one-acre lot had to have approximately 45 to 50 mature pine trees removed for the house and garage construction. The owners decided to mill the trees on the lot with the help of a local contractor who operates a portable saw mill that was brought to the site. 90% of the house interior trim as well as the the front and rear porch ceilings are from the mature pine trees cut down on the lot.

Today, almost any activity you enjoy inside your home you can bring to the outside. Depending on your budget, your outdoor room can be simple, with a stamped concrete patio, a grill and a table for dining, or more elaborate with a fully functional outdoor kitchen complete with concrete countertops for preparing and serving food, a sink and a refrigerator. You can take the concept even further by adding such amenities as a concrete pizza oven, a fireplace or fire-pit, a concrete bar-top for serving cocktails, an architectural concrete fountain, landscape lighting and concrete statuary.

These Leo Wall Planters of corten steel by Pot Incorporated provide easy access to the strawberries inside. They also serve to make a decorative living wall out of the often unused area along the edges under deck. Sedum groundcovers make a nice carpet next to the path. www.potinc.ca Garden Coaching by Amy Whitworth Stonework by J. Walter Landscape & Irrigation Photo by Joshua McCullough, PhytoPhoto

This photo is showing how the shade loving plants are used to obscure the construction elements of the man-made creek. It is a section of a rock lined creek-stream water feature, that we built, which is over 200' long. It is located underneath a grove of oaks that provides plenty of shade and partial sun for the ferns and other shade loving plants. The landscape was designed by the homeowners and is meticulously maintained.
