This is an example of a mid-sized rustic front yard brick garden path in Wilmington.

A rebuilt deck, the old deck was removed and the new one was rebuilt to match the style. We installed a custom cedar post cable rail. The terrain was difficult and a lot of the work went into a new support system with new concrete piers.

The purpose of the design is to extend the walkway area. We worked with the curvature of the sidewalk and terrain to create a unique look featuring welded steel, Texas Native plants, accent boulders and decomposed granite.

Instead of a bulky, traditional retaining wall, we designed out a thoughtfully-placed, tiered boulder retaining solution to blend this landscape into the surrounding mountainous terrain in the foothills of Golden, CO.

This 6,100 SF hilltop home commands a spectacular view of the golf course below and city beyond, while nestling gently and unassumingly into the native terrain. With its horizontal lines and deep overhangs, reminiscent of the Prairie Style of architecture, the home’s design and layout focus all attention toward the expansive windows along the west wall, providing an unparalleled panorama of the multi-level terraces surrounding the pool.

Access to the lake from this charming home required navigating a steep slope. db landscaping LLC was able to negotiate this terrain and provide comfortable lake access using oversized natural stone steps and landings that meander through native plant material. The upper patio space provides natural outdoor gathering space directly off the main living area and allows for a perched view of the lake beyond.

The 3,200 sf. residence occupies a difficult portion of a northern sloped hillside, overlooking a verdant valley toward Castle Rock. The steep terrain necessitated a compartmentalized plan capable of negotiating the gentle hillock at the center of the site. A corridor/bridge spans between two pieces of the house, uniting living and sleeping spaces, and allowing an existing watercourse to flow essentially through the house unobstructed.

The purpose of the design is to extend the walkway area. We worked with the curvature of the sidewalk and terrain to create a unique look featuring welded steel, Texas Native plants, accent boulders and decomposed granite.

This 1990s brick home had decent square footage and a massive front yard, but no way to enjoy it. Each room needed an update, so the entire house was renovated and remodeled, and an addition was put on over the existing garage to create a symmetrical front. The old brown brick was painted a distressed white. The 500sf 2nd floor addition includes 2 new bedrooms for their teen children, and the 12'x30' front porch lanai with standing seam metal roof is a nod to the homeowners' love for the Islands. Each room is beautifully appointed with large windows, wood floors, white walls, white bead board ceilings, glass doors and knobs, and interior wood details reminiscent of Hawaiian plantation architecture. The kitchen was remodeled to increase width and flow, and a new laundry / mudroom was added in the back of the existing garage. The master bath was completely remodeled. Every room is filled with books, and shelves, many made by the homeowner. Project photography by Kmiecik Imagery.

Our client wanted this project to blend into the environment surrounding their house. They loved the rocky terrain, so we incorporated the rocks into the project. Not all rocks are good for pools, these are the best rocks around, they don't fracture and hold up in water environments.

Kirk Bianchi created the design for this residential resort next to a desert preserve. The overhang of the homes patio suggested a pool with a sweeping curve shape. Kirk positioned a raised vanishing edge pool to work with the ascending terrain and to also capture the reflections of the scenery behind. The fire pit and bbq areas are situated to capture the best views of the superstition mountains, framed by the architectural pergola that creates a window to the vista beyond. A raised glass tile spa, capturing the colors of the desert context, serves as a jewel and centerpiece for the outdoor living space.
