A new paver entry with red wood "bridge" to go over the dry river bed that captures rain water. Differing sizes of cobble provide interest for the different areas of the landscape. A low stucco wall divides the front yard into a public and private space. The private space includes a fire pit, seating area, and flagstone path.

Design ideas for a large southwestern drought-tolerant side yard concrete paver landscaping in Las Vegas.

The composition of layers, the palette of shades, and the use of natural materials (concrete and granulate) give this stone his warm feel and romantic look. The Odyssee stone is 100 percent frost-resistant and can therefore be used indoors and outdoors. With a variety of sizes it's easy to make that realistic random looking wall. Stone Design is durable, easy to clean, does not discolor and is moist, frost, and heat resistant. The light weight panels are easy to install with a regular thin set mortar (tile adhesive) based on the subsurface conditions. The subtle variatons in color and shape make it look and feel like real stone. After treatment with a conrete sealer this stone is even more easy to keep clean.

Patio - large backyard tile patio idea in Phoenix with a fireplace

The front approach is understated and carefully planned with a line of low placed eyeball down lights that run in a straight line along the wall , through the house itself and into the back patio- lighting a path that takes the view all through the residence. Exposed steel,concrete block and glass set the vocabulary for the entire residence. More images on our website: http://www.romero-obeji-interiordesign.com
