In south Seattle, a tiny backyard garden needed a makeover to add usability and create a sitting area for entertaining. Raised garden beds for edible plants provide the transition between the existing deck and new patio below, eliminating the need for a railing. A firepit provides the focal point for the new patio. Angles create drama and direct flow to the steel stairs and gate. Installed June, 2014. Photography: Mark S. Garff ASLA, LLA

This is an example of a traditional backyard landscaping in Boston.

in the front yard we created a new front seating patio that is surrounded by perennials, the fence and an outer hedge to maintain the securingty and seclusion for this homeowner to feel hidden in thier own front yard.

This is a premium-grade PVC / Vinyl fence, mostly in 4' height, but there is a section where it transitions up to 6' for the neighbors privacy. The home owner is an active dog-rescue host, and in the summer, is known for his rescue dog parties. The new fence completely spans his massive yard, providing a contained perimeter that keeps dogs in, curb-appeal high, and neighbor's thumbs up.

The entry courtyard at this colonial style home uses hardy perennials, evergreens, and traditional materials to compliment the traditional style of the house. Avid gardeners, these clients wanted mixed perennial borders with a lot of color. The brick pavers are set in sand making them permeable.

Complete revamp of existing front yard, creating a more contemporary feel with new wide concrete steps, steppers in Mexican beach cobble, simple stucco retaining walls, waterwise planting, metal fence and new driveway.
