San Rafael Overview: This garden project began with the demolition of an existing pool and decks cantilevered over a hillside. The garden was originally a Japanese-themed garden retreat and free-form shaped pool. While the client wanted to update and replace many elements, they sought to keep the free-form characteristics of the existing design and repurpose existing materials. BK Landscape Design created a new garden with revetment walls and steps to a succulent garden with salvaged boulders from the pool and pool coping. We built a colored concrete path to access a new wood trellis constructed on the center-line view from the master bedroom. A combination of Bay friendly, native and evergreen plantings were chosen for the planting palette. The overhaul of the yard included low-voltage lighting and minimal drainage. A new wood deck replaced the existing one at the entrance as well as a deck off of the master bedroom that was also constructed from repurposed materials. The style mimics the architectural detail of the mansard roof and simple horizontal wood siding of the house. After removing a juniper (as required by the San Rafael Fire Department within the Wildland-Urban interface) we designed and developed a full front-yard planting plan. All plants are Bay-Friendly, native, and irrigated with a more efficient in-line drip irrigation system to minimize water use. Low-voltage lighting and minimal drainage were also part of the overhaul of the front yard redesign.

This is an example of a small mediterranean drought-tolerant and partial sun backyard concrete paver landscaping in Vancouver for summer.

This is a new house in a new development. The owner had a completely blank canvas to work with and stunning vistas from the rear yard. BKLD created an intimate seating area to enjoy evening sunsets, terrace walls with beautiful plantings to contain the steep hillside on one side of the yard while creating a new outdoor living and entertaining space. An informal Bocce court provides for a good distraction from the hustle, bustle of a busy work week and and is also serving as a placeholder for a future pool. A large full dimension wood trellis are also coming in the near future.
