Napa, CA residence, adjacent to a steep rock hillside. My design solutions included a contemporary redwood horizontal fence to help screen the view of the hillside along with arbors for vines that help to break up the long narrow space. I designed a triangular-shaped pergola with decorative panels from "Parasoleil" that serves as an artful focal point while providing interesting shade patterns that casts its delightful shadow along fence and patio and bench below, changing its position as the sun moves throughout the day. The landscape design includes angular planting beds, concrete pavers surrounded by gravel and a small lower-water lawn for the family to enjoy. The photos show the just planted low-water plants, vines and olive trees and again after a couple of months. Drawings, Design and Photos © Eileen Kelly, Dig Your Garden Landscape Design

Inspiration for a mid-sized modern rock and full sun backyard concrete paver formal garden in Seattle.

Design by Candace Chinick We used natural stone steps along with concrete pavers to navigate the slope of this front yard. With uplighting on the metal panels and path lights, this landscape glows in the evenings. Evergreen materials keep the interest year-round. As the ground covers and grasses fill in, it will become very low maintenance in the years to come.
