At Colorworks Landscaping, we specialize in creating outdoor spaces that combine beauty, functionality, and sustainability. This project in Sun City is a perfect example of how we transform backyards into personalized retreats. Project Overview: - Ground Preparation: We started by demoing and prepping the ground, setting the stage for a flawless installation. - Utility Installation: A water line was expertly laid to connect to a custom serenity fountain, and electrical work included wiring to a GFI outlet for added convenience. - Hardscaping: Concrete pavers and step pads were installed with precision, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. - Fire Pit Installation: We built a custom fire pit featuring a travertine cap, fire bar, and reflective fire glass. The structure was expertly stuccoed and painted to complement the design. - Serenity Fountain: A stunning fountain with copper accents and a high-performance pump was installed, creating a calming focal point. - Synthetic Turf: We installed 80 oz Daytona turf for a lush, evergreen lawn that is durable, pet-friendly, and virtually maintenance-free. - Masonry Wall and Iron Fence: A masonry wall was built to support a custom-designed iron fence with steel gates, offering both security and a timeless design. - Irrigation System: A drip irrigation system was set up to ensure efficient watering for plants, saving water while keeping the landscape vibrant.

This laundry sink has a custom wood work surface where the sink can become a flush folding zone, by the simple lift of the center board. The hole serves as both a way to lift the board and as a drain in case the water mistakenly gets turned on. The wall mounted spout on the faucet also swivels out of the way when the area serves as a work space.

Old barren space where a playground once stood is transformed into a circular patio with a fire pit in the center.

The front areas of this landscape in Bel Marin Keys, Novato, were transformed from a tired, water thirsty-lawn into a contemporary setting with dramatic concrete pavers leading to the home's entrance. A variety of low-water plants for sun and part shade complete this project front yard transformation. Installed in February 2014. More plant updates early 2015. The back areas of this transformation is featured in a separate project: Modern Water-Side Landscape Remodel http://www.houzz.com/projects/456093/Modern-Water-Side-Landscape-Remodel---Lawn-Replaced--Novato--CA

Adding a water feature brings a whole new sensory experience to your garden. A well-placed fountain can transform an ordinary garden into a relaxing outdoor retreat with the restorative sound and hypnotizing movement of trickling water. A fountain can also serve as a focal point in your outdoor space.

We took a dark area of the property and transformed it into pure magic! See the water flowing down Buddhas' face?
This is an example of a large tropical partial sun backyard formal garden in Los Angeles.

This San Rafael front landscape has been dramatically updated with a welcoming concrete pathway entrance, and complimented by a variety of architectural plants, hardy succulents, textural grasses and a majestic, fruitless olive tree. The dramatic transformation is enhanced by a raised corten steel planter at the pathway entrance with gravel and succulents. Two horizontal ipe wood structures provide contemporary accents. New raised concrete planters alongside the new concrete driveway define the property and showcase more colorful succulents. A beautiful gray house paint color and ipe accents complete the remodel.

Or maybe you want to finish of your swimming pool with a hand carved stone art piece instead of that stacked, bricked or stuccoed wall that you currently have? What about that kitchen window that leads to your neighbor’s wall or catwalk? Well you guessed it if you were thinking about adding a unique water feature that will transform that dull space into a lush oasis of limestone, water and greenery... An antique water fountain will not only transform your backyard it will change your mood every time you look at it of walk pass by it...

Transforming an ordinary backyard into a one-of-a-kind outdoor retreat, this custom water feature project was designed and built around the property’s existing space, elevation, and natural surroundings. The project features a custom koi and fish pond with clear water, aquatic plants, colorful koi, natural stonework, cascading waterfalls, and a flowing stream that travels through the landscaped side yard before connecting with the main pond. Carefully selected boulders, river rock, stone pathways, plants, and natural materials were incorporated throughout the project to help the water feature blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The combination of moving water, waterfalls, koi, lily pads, and outdoor lighting creates a peaceful backyard environment that can be enjoyed during both the day and evening. Rather than installing a one-size-fits-all pond, every element of this project was designed around the homeowner’s property and vision. From excavation and water flow to stone placement, landscaping, aquatic plants, and finishing details, the goal was to create more than a pond—we created a complete backyard experience.
