The driveway is paved with interlocking bricks, creating an inviting approach to the three-car garage, whose doors mimic the warm, sandy tones of the desert. Mature desert landscaping flanks the driveway, featuring a variety of native plants including yucca, agave, and a striking saguaro cactus supported by a wooden frame.

For the pool area we chose focal palms phoenix sylvestnis and coccothrinax alta. We created natural stone planters to continue with the oolite theme. Bromeliads add a pop of color to the foot of the coccothrinax. Photo credit: Mike Biskupich

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey
