Request Free QuoteThis home rests within a thin property on a narrow street, which presented the first design challenge when it was learned that the clients liked to entertain. A parking court was conceptualized as the main element for the front yard’s new look. A new arrival walk, stylized balanced gardens to strengthen the classic architecture theme, lighting, and all expressed with traditional materials and details were additional objectives in the front yard’s design program.

Connecting point A to point B is one reason for a pathway through the yard, but as we see it these are the connections between the “rooms” of your garden. We design our outdoor living plans to have all of the functions that a home’s floor plan has inside. Each space is connected by a pathway that lures the visitor comfortably around the corner or through an archway looking forward to what the next garden destination has to offer.

After their brand new construction was completed, this family had a beautiful and comfortable home that truly fit their needs. However, this new construction lacked an outdoor living space, which left the backyard feeling stark and bare. With this blank slate, we were able to create a relaxing environment for this family to enjoy. Faced with the challenge of using every square-inch of this small space, Native Edge was able to design a landscape that left this family worry-free. We incorporated a low maintenance composite decking system, modern raised metal planters, and a bubbling urn water feature to tie this peaceful landscape together. The poor drainage of the lot gave us the opportunity to create a striking cat walk and drainage feature, which left ample room for their vegetable and herb garden hobby. There is even a nook for the family dog to enjoy!

The east sideyard was planted using Japanese Maples and Bamboo to develop an asian theme. The stepping stone path uses irregular stones that force you to be careful wear you step to further the intention of being "mindful" as you stroll. John Stuart Leslie/JSL Landscape Design Build Sedona
