With a narrow driveway and leaning concrete retaining walls, parking was a major challenge at this 1938 brick Tudor on Spokane's South Hill. Crumbling concrete stairs added another layer of difficulty, and after a particularly rough winter, the homeowners were ready for a change. The failing concrete walls were replaced with stacked boulders, which created space for a new, wider driveway. Natural stone steps offer access to the backyard, while the new front stairs and sidewalk provide a safe route to the front door. The original iron railings were preserved and modified to be reused with the new stairs.

We redesigned the stairway, lengthening the run of each tread to 27”, to accommodate a walker safely. The treads are now two and a half times wider than a standard tread width. Risers are also shorter than average, and this combination still creates an ergonomic path for anyone to traverse.

# 1 According to Bullfrog Spas, taking periodic breaks from the hot tub is an essential step for safe enjoyable hot tubbing. This necessity is a great opportunity to get creative by designing a hot tub seating area that expresses your tastes. Photo: Bullfrog Spas More on taking breaks:

This covered porch offered little relief from the Texas mosquitos. RPD designed the enclosure to maximize the space, while allowing great airflow. The screen completely closes in the patio so that no flying bugs (especially mosquitos) can enter the safe space.
The water spicket was moved outside the enclosure, electrical outlets were added for lighting and an additional ceiling fans were installed.

Uplighting the large palm trees adds impact to the features and provides a sense of depth perception at night. The inset lights on the steps guide you safely to the raised seating area.

Originally surrounded by chain-link fence, with a side walk dangerously not up to code and a tall improperly built retaining wall leaning into the pool deck, this landscape was in dire need of help. We started by tearing out the fence, ripping out the old sidewalk and disassembling the retaining walls surrounding the pool. We then rebuilt the walls in terraces to break up the height surrounding the pool and add planting space. We installed safe natural stone steps with a concrete paver walkway leading to the front and back of the property. Next we added boulders throughout the landscape which both helped retain, add beauty and break up the walls. We then added all the plantings and put L-stone gravel throughout a large portion of the landscape. The flora softened the look of the design, while the stone made maintenance needs lower. We finished the project by installing a fire-pit space and wrapping the poles holding the deck with custom block and caps. All put together there is an impressive display of boulders, year round color and functionality to this beautiful space.
