Eat-in kitchen - large 1950s porcelain tile and beige floor eat-in kitchen idea in Wilmington with beige cabinets, gray backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with the owners of this custom home while it was still under construction. The early planning allowed LWB to design the topographic features of the site to fit into the amenities that the clients desired such as an organically shaped swimming pool, a spa, planting, etc. The extreme grades in the backyard created an opportunity to place the spa overlooking the pool. The unique grading situation also allowed the pool utilities to be built underneath the lawn in a vented room, hidden from view. Waterfalls in the pool and a water wall help to create a relaxing experience in the homeowner's backyard. This Project was awarded with a coveted Grand Award in Residential Installation $50,001 & Over by the Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association.

Design ideas for a small mid-century modern partial sun backyard stone water fountain landscape in Portland for spring.

The client was anticipating a 'country cottage' feel to his home when he purchased it. They were never really happy with it, until the pool showed up! The pool needed to feel like a meandering stream as it made it's way down to the lower level. Views were important, and keeping the rear pond view was paramount! So, by manipulating the shape of the pool, adding an oversize flag stone shelf in the water, and providing a soothing 'trickling' waterfall, the image was complete! From the rear patio it looks and feels like you are sitting next to a back country stream!

The large spa has two sets of pumps, one allows for a gentle trickle of water flowing back into the pool, the other creates a massive sheet of water falling across the front of the grotto. The structure, made from natural Wiarton ledgerock, has a series of small ledges which are handy spots to place drinks or battery powered candles.

Classic, clean, and contemporary simplicity make this small courtyard a tranquil gathering space. Pale limestone and painted brick white walls brighten the north-facing shady courtyard. The trickle of the fountain fills the small space with a sense of relaxation and peace.

The backyard of this house was a no-man’s land when the owners moved in. With little more than a few established trees and a big, noisy air-conditioning unit, the yard was an almost open canvas bordering the Los Padres National Forest in a high-fire zone. We installed a large infiltration swale to capture as much rainfall as possible from the house rain gutters, so the water can be stored in the soil where plants can access it, reducing the amount of irrigation this landscape needs. Plantings obscure the air-conditioning unit, and a water feature was installed so the sound of trickling water would drown-out its sound. The plants we chose are drought tolerant and attractive to native birds and insects. We paid special attention to the plantings nearest to the house, keeping them fairly low growing as to not create a fire ladder beneath the eves. The plants also hold a good deal of moisture in their stems and leaves and are easily kept free of desiccated material, making them fire-wise plants that can actually reduce the chances of the property burning in the event of a nearby wildfire.

At lunchtime one day I reclined as I watched the eagle fly over the creek bed nearby while grilling Highland Beef Steaks and a humming bird buzzed me and a Monarch butterfly landed on my arm. Was another world in the middle of a hectic day, that was hard to leave but knew I would be returning soon!
