This is an example of an asian full sun backyard stone water fountain landscape in Los Angeles.

We removed their old worn out deck and replaced it with beautiful, long lasting pavers. The paver patio now runs right up to the edge of the pond - thus allowing for more enjoyment of the pond and creating a larger seating area. This space was designed for entertaining and the Roman style seating wall runs along the back of the patio, allowing for a fantastic view of their wooded yard. This space is customized with accent pillars, a stone stoop and a specially crafted inlaid paver "rug" to center the outdoor table.

To anchor a modern house, designed by Frederick Fisher & Partners, Campion Walker brought in a mature oak grove that at first frames the home and then invites the visitor to explore the grounds including an intimate culinary garden and stone fruit orchard. The neglected hillside on the back of the property once overgrown with ivy was transformed into a California native oak woodland, with under-planting of ceanothus and manzanitas. We used recycled water to create a dramatic water feature cut directly into the limestone entranceway framed by a cacti and succulent garden.

New terraced retaining walls using Mutual Materials flat face khaki manor stone with pisa 2 coping cap. Rope lighting mounted under cap for night lighting. Custom freestanding arbors in cedar with hanging accent low voltage light for table. Green house tucks back into walls opening up space in the yard. Raised pond and waterfall in background beyond patio.
