And softened by the colorful plantings on the slope above. This summer display of salvias, succulents and other flowering plants create a natural environment for the birds, bees and butterflies and a welcoming and a tranquil sitting area for the homeowner and guests to enjoy.

A tight outdoor space was transformed into a natural backyard oasis. The multi-tiered deck leads onto a natural flagstone pathway with paver edging. The path opens into a circular fire pit tucked into the edge of the garden, enclosed with purple-leafed redbud trees and anchored with a mature fig tree. Dry stacked stone creates the curved bench, which also retains the elevated garden bed that wraps the fire circle. The natural cedar fence encloses the space and the custom gate becomes a garden feature of its own with a stained glass window.
