We had a several challenges to face with this project. Not only did we need to update a dated landscape to accommodate two seemingly different design tastes (modern & minimalistic vs natural english garden), we were tasked with improving the property’s drainage, improving the driveway access, reducing water usage and plant maintenance, and fixing a crumbling wall. To marry the two design tastes, we started with the more modern elements of metal planters and softened the landscape with mass plantings of ornamental grasses and native sedge. These grasses act as a turf replacement that do not need to be mowed and require less regular watering. On each side of the yard we constructed new cedar fences to provide updated and additional privacy. In addition, we poured a new concrete wall to replace the existing retaining wall and play off the new modern vibe.

This simple pool features a sheer descent waterfall at the deep end of the pool. The waterfall creates white noise and the steps create a simple diving platform. White pavers keep the pool deck cool.

This modern farm house project was a 1950's single story ranch style house that we demolished down to the subfloor platform before building what you see here. The owners were responsible for the design.
