To create this landscape overlooking the Pacific Ocean just south of Santa Barbara, we terraced what was formerly a long, sloping, and water-thirsty grass lawn and planted the layers with drought-tolerant native plants. Dry-stacked stone retaining walls with integrated drainage add structural stability, and two levels of flagstone patio enable the owners to take full advantage of the balmy Mediterranean climate zone and ocean views.

A wine cellar should be a conversation piece, in addition to being a secure storage space, and this door doesn't disappoint. The wrought iron grapevine over a glass insert gives a hint as to what's waiting inside. Makes you thirsty just looking at it...

This bar was designed to bring our clients yacht into their home, incorporating movement in the tiles, the chrome accents and the blue of the ocean, created a contemporary space where they can watch all the sports games they want, while not going thirsty!

This custom home is an elegant paradise. It boasts an effortless flow from the open kitchen and lounge areas, to the outdoor pool and back again. And the prominently placed wet bar is always there at your disposal if you get thirsty along the way. These empty nesters love to cook, socialize, and enjoy the good life, and their meticulous attention to detail meant that every nook and corner fits perfectly into the big picture. High-end finishes and light fixtures are just the thing to accompany a vaulted living room and customized cabinetry in every room. Even the beloved family dog was taken into consideration and now has his own dedicated dog wash in the laundry room. The result is nothing short of spectacular, and we might be feeling just a little jealous that we didn’t get to keep this home for ourselves at the end of the project.

Completed the Summer/Fall of 2020, this Ross, CA back landscape was re-imagined to remove the leaking pool and replace the water-thirsty/tired lawn. The result is a beautiful landscape with more usable and functional areas for outdoor living and enjoyment. Filled with an abundance of diverse, lower-water plants and enhancements. A feast for the eyes and senses for the homeowners to enjoy throughout the seasons, that also welcomes the birds, bees and butterflies. We replaced and expanded the patio outside the home's sliding doors to provide more space for dining and entertaining. Full-range bluestone was selected for its warm and cool tones for the patio, stairs and the long curvaceous pathway that leads to a smaller patio. Shaded by the majestic oak tree, this patio at the back of the property is another welcoming destination for peaceful relaxation. It is boarded by a stone seat wall constructed with "Rocky Mountain Gold Glacier" natural stone that provides additional seating, functionality and compliments the bluestone beautifully. "Granitecrete" (a material similar to Decomposed Granite) was chosen as the surface for other pathways and a small area designed to include a bench and a curved trellis with a lowering vine. It also surrounds the dramatic tall planters with Kumquat trees, and the stately water feature. A variety of Mediterranean plants and grasses fill the garden with movement texture and fragrance, designed in shades of green, gray, purple and white. A low-water Kurapia ground surrounds the main pathway pavers. More photos to come the Spring of 2021 when the plants fill in more abundant.

A basement bar is a great way to keep your guests entertained throughout the night! The wine rack storage and mini wine fridge ensure your guests will never go thirsty again!

We removed this water-thirsty lawn and replaced it with artificial turf and pavers. It's a huge upgrade and big water saver from what was there before. See the transformation with these before and afters.

Owner wanted to update their water thirsty yard to a more water wise yard. Asked designer to incorporate water wise shrubs and perennials into their landscape. Also wanted to lay natural pavers over the existing concrete. Also wanted to lay drought tolerant turf too. Rick Laughlin

Low water plants replaced a thirsty lawn with a new path from the street in flagstone to a flagstone patio and entry. A new paver driveway replaced concrete. Install Lifescape
