A complete and eclectic rear garden renovation with a creative blend of formal and natural elements. Formal lawn panel and rose garden, craftsman style wood deck and trellis, homages to Goldsworthy and Stonehenge with large boulders and a large stone cairn, several water features, a Japanese Torii gate, rock walls and steps, vegetables and herbs in containers and a new parking area paved with permeable pavers that feed an underground storage area that in turns irrigates the garden. All this blends into a diverse but cohesive garden. Designed by Charles W Bowers, Built by Garden Gate Landscaping, Inc. © Garden Gate Landscaping, Inc./Charles W. Bowers

We poured the new patio using colored concrete and gave it a larger footprint to provide more living space. We chose a terra-cotta color to bring in warmth and to blend with the brick facing. To liven up the worn concrete surface of the platform, we chose a stain in a similar color. The color is different enough from the color of the lower level to indicate it is a separate space, and it helps the terra-cotta pedestal, one the former chimneys of the house, stand out as a focal point. - April Algaier, Garden Designer at Three Dogs and a Girl
