Hawkeye Landscape Design We began this project with the idea of making a friendly entryway and social area under the Mulberry tree which provides much needed shade in this hot, mountainous area. The 'red fescue' meadow grass has a cooling effect and the agaves reduce the need for excess water and maintenance. The backyard has a covered dining area with a corner lounge and fireplace. The large barbecue offers a cantilevered counter for entertaining. The waterfall into the pool is surrounded with bamboo and plantings that emulate the hillside beyond the property. The permeable paving and mix of Vitex and Olive trees provide shade for smaller seating areas to enjoy the variety of succulents throughout the garden

Design ideas for a mid-sized contemporary front yard concrete paver landscaping in Los Angeles.

A new harborfront home with a southwestern exposure, utilizing passive solar design, geothermal heating and cooling, extensive daylighting, hydronic radiant floors, permeable paving, and a palette of natural materials. The exterior is wrapped with locally-sourced blue stone, and cedar shiplap siding, capped with a metal roof. Exterior decks were design at each level, to further reinforce the home's connection with nature, while expansive glass walls capture both the harbor views and the southern exposure. Roof overhangs shield the interiors from summer sun, while allowing the low winter sunlight to enter the bright modern spaces. The interior spaces flow in an open plan, with a double-height entrance connecting the main living areas with an upper sitting room, all oriented towards the harbor and sunsets.

The Underwoods wanted a permeable walkway to replace their collapsed concrete sidewalk along with larger pavers. They also wanted to be able to step outside of their vehicles onto a paved path as opposed to their grass. We added topsoil and reseeded their lawn as well as added in a perennial xeriscaped garden.

The screen room has a "Permeable Paver" patio as the floor, so when you wash up in the outdoor shower, the water just "disappears"!

A pergola of rustic barn wood spans a masonry courtyard wall capped with Bedford stone. The dining bluestone patio is framed by a triple stretcher of permeable, Pine Hall StormPave brick pavers with an outer stretcher border of Germantown limestone cobbles. LED under ledge low voltage lights were placed in select areas on the cap of the courtyard walls while a down light was anchored in the center of the overhead pergola.

We use pool deck pavers of the highest-grade and also provide you with a range of design options. The choice is limitless and you can pick from brick, concrete or stone pavers. But as mentioned earlier, since there is a lot of water in this area, the material you choose should have a permeable surface and also be slip-resistant. As a matter of fact, these should be one of your primary considerations.
