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.

Classic Home Improvements installed this attached patio cover in this Hillcrest home. Now all the outdoor space is able to be utilized without the harsh sun. Some sunlight can trickle in with a couple of skylights placed at the end of the patio. Photos by John Gerson: Gerson Photography. www.choosechi.com

Details matter in luxury pools, and this fountain that trickles through the walkway to the pool is a detail that adds ambiance and interest.

A love of gardens. A love of outdoor spaces. It's a pleasure for all when we come across clients who are passionate about their gardens A large iron gate opens to reveal a stone pool house. Stairs lead through terraced gardens to the main patio area. As you walk upwards the long narrrow pool comes into view... carved Indiana limestone coping... rubble stone borders... a delicate bronze girl stepping into the trickling shallows... The main sitting area is large and generous. Another upper area provides a spot for dining, enjoying the barbecue and viewing the luxurious deep garden beds.

This Antique Fountain is over 100 years old! I purchased and installed the basin on the bottom. We drilled custom holes in it to allow the water to trickle down and make a really beautiful sound. We had it custom detail painted and installed lights on all three rows.

Designed for good energy... Our client was looking to create a space for retreat, tranquility, serenity. The existing space was somewhat funky without balance and made it difficult to feel good. Working within an existing courtyard space, we were limited. No matter, our goal was to remedy this outdoor courtyard/sunset balcony space. Our idea was to keep the space cozy but create destination spaces where you can lay down in the grass and look up at the stars. Walk bare foot atop the different hardscape surfaces, reclaimed brick patio & walkway, Silvermist flagstone, terra cotta tiles & tiffway bermuda. The idea of sitting in front of a magical rock island stone fireplace reading a book, sharing conversation with family & friends gives us warm feelings. Bubbling water features dance through out this space creating sounds of trickling brooks you could only hear if you were in a far far away place. The courtyard walls disappear, with plants and trees wrapping there arms around our client while relaxing under a 45 year old ascalone olive tree. A healing garden was the finished product, so much, its a space that you don't ever want to leave....

From one Pro to another, this new outdoor living addition fits in seamless to the original architecture of this El Paso Upper Valley home. Just finished and it feels like its always been there. The cedar pergola shades this beautiful Pennsylvania blue stone patio. Great lynx appliances fill this outdoor kitchen/bar and serving station. Trickling sound from the waterfall along with bouncing flames from the fire pit keeps visitors entranced in this special environment. Flanked by boulders & landscape planters that have color & fragrance all year around. However, when night falls, the landscape lights and fire features illuminate to create a sophisticated festive night spot. One can't wait to come home and enjoy

One of McKinley Burkart’s most aesthetically traditional projects, the Island Residence is a 15,000 square foot house made of pavilions and low bridges, completely surrounded by water. McKinley Burkart worked closely with landscape architects to design a residence that is fully integrated with its site. Water flows from a small fountain and trickles down, flowing throughout the site under glass bridges featuring the koi fish that populate the stream. The house implements Asian planning principles of connecting indoor and outdoor space using pavilions and bridges yet brings forth a West Coast, heavy timber aesthetic throughout the whole residence.

This stunning landscape reveals Alderwood's exquisite design capabilities. The multi-level water feature trickles underneath a granite bridge into a wading pool. It is slightly offset to block views of nearby homes without impeding the beautiful lake view from the exterior sitting area. A gorgeous paver walkway is perfectly lined, inviting guests to see the granite rock feature up close.
