The main entrance to this two-bedroom, compact condominium puts you underneath the rustic veranda of an old-world, enclosed patio. All the bustle of the street outside disappears as you are sheltered by a rustic Spanish courtyard where 80 year-old olive trees keep company with the trickling water of an aged fountain.

This High Park backyard is a restorative sanctuary designed for a client who loves gardening and embraces the forest-like character of the site. The landscape is layered to engage all the senses, attracting pollinators and wildlife while offering serene spaces to relax, whether by the calming water feature or at the bar-side of the outdoor kitchen. The existing deck has been transformed into a covered three-season room, seamlessly extending the home’s living space into the outdoors with an elevated view of High Park. Every element of this luxury Toronto backyard landscape balances sensory immersion, wellness, and functionality, creating a private retreat in the heart of the city where family, friends, and nature coexist in harmony.

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....

The idea of this project was to create a special environment that stimulates all senses in the human body, an environment that is vibrant and most importantly interactive for all ages. We began by searching for the right materials to create a specific feeling of time and space. Placement of the water feature was designed by studying how the customer used their home. The waterfalls and streams connect separate outdoor spaces and accommodate for all views outdoors and indoors. A sense of mystery is designed into every detail in this water feature. The layout of the ponds play accordingly with the sun for excellent reflections, and each rock formation has time designed into it. The environment is inviting, and interactive. Each person that walks out to explore the environment has his or her curiosity rewarded by discovering plant life, trickling streams, and several waterfalls only to be discovered by the inquisitive explorer.

Shortly after purchasing their home, the owners determined a complete landscape makeover was needed so they could truly enjoy Ohio’s short outdoor season in their expansive back yard. The project entailed designing multiple areas for relaxing and dining enhanced with the addition of trickling water and warmth of a firepit. Incorporating a blue pallet of Pennsylvania Bluestone patios and stacked stone columns throughout the project perfectly complements the taupe home and creates a naturally soothing quality in the new backyard retreat.

Large artificial Cedars were planted in this custom wood planter to offer some wind protection and privacy from the neighbouring buildings. The planter was created out of clear cedar and was built and stained to match the detail of the prefabricated planters. This simple water feature will offer a trickling noise and is nicely backdropped by the existing glass panels.

In a hidden corner of the yard, the fireplace area offers a serene escape. The trickling waterfall provides the perfect soundtrack for an evening or summer day full of relaxing.

We also placed a Campania water feature that is simple yet elegant visually, it also adds the soothing ambiance of trickling water to the space. We then topped it all of by adding in a mix of annuals.

Your spa wont just be a spa but it will be a spa with a waterfall, all in one.
