Natural tropical resort on a small residential lot with some heavy plantings, palm trees and a 25' slide. The front entry and family room view centered on the beach entry and boulder cave. Raised planters and the spa flank the cave. The spa spillway was made wider to place larger, more natural stone work. Also, the spa bench has an armrest so one's back does not rest against the boulders. The cave has a "random" stair-stepped stacked stone crafted entry giving a more natural look. Planting pockets flank the beach entry, which the Travertine pavers completely cover. Every resort needs a swim up cabana, bartender and television. Across the pool we have a great firepit to gather around and enjoy each other all seasons of the year. Photography by Mike Farley.

The water feature is 24” deep 500 s.f. and filled with 6” of Black Mexican beach pebbles. Multiple Techobloc Raffinato planters each equipped with drip irrigation. Plantings were installed by our client. Six sheer descent waterfalls and multi-colored underwater lights are controlled from the clients mobile phone or iPad. All the paving is a Turkish Travertine with a connecting floating bridge that leads to a more private sunken patio/pavilion area, where one can sit and enjoy the tranquil sound of sheer descent waterfalls. The addition of the contemporary sculpture and a bubbling granite boulder completes this backyard transformation! -Photography by George Brown
