Check out these new bridges that were constructed by PermaComposites® for the City of Swan. These bridges were made from both Permastruct® FRP Substrates and PermaTimber® 225 Decking and look fantastic. Our PermaTimber® 225 Decking looks exactly like natural timber, without the need to worry about white ants and associated maintenance, so these bridges will look great for years! PermaTimber® 225 Decking has a non-slip surface as well, presenting incidents that may happen on these bridges from rainfall or stream splashback. Our Permastruct® FRP Substrates are fire resistant with a high strength to weight ratio, obtaining comparative or better performance than regular timber.

Ground up single-family residence; a very unique and difficult build given Granite Ridge’s topography and inherent boulders. The structure takes advantage of a creek running through the property by creating a series of waterfalls and ponds. This natural stream was relocated during construction and brought back into the courtyard design for year-round enjoyment. The home expresses a modern take on mountain materials such as stone and wood combined with steel, Italian cabinets, and large glazed openings. Large Unilux European windows provide a view of the western mountains and the eastern valley. The snow loading in the area is well above average and required a well-thought-out roof and hardscape design. The landscape and tree selection in the courtyard are equally inviting to people and to occasional wildlife visitors.

Nestled on a picture-perfect hill country property with a serene creek running through it, this hill country modern family home is a blend of fun and sophistication. The exterior's combination of geometrical shapes and a distinctive color palette is inviting and pleasing to the eye. As light streams into the living room through walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, it creates a cheerful and bright atmosphere. This unmatched design with exquisite finishes generates a seamless confluence from the interior living spaces to the outside oasis. One of the unusual characteristics of this home was the expansive soil conditions on site. Removing four feet of soil and replacing it with fill material was an unusual process for us in the Hill Country but a needed process to safeguard this home for many years of enjoyment.

A gentle stream winds through a bed of natural boulders, drawing the eye toward a softly lit path and lush planting beds. This peaceful moment captures the heart of the space—serene, natural, and thoughtfully designed for evening ambiance and year-round enjoyment.

A new Three Seasons room was added on to an existing house. This included a new staircase layout and a outdoor area for grilling. The modern railing and high-end screen system is maintenance free and looks beautiful for years to come.

This is a beautiful natural freeform pool and spa located in Dallas, TX. The big thing about this project that was unique was the trees. We were required to save all the trees. There are a lot of areas where the paving is not mortared together to allow moisture and air through to help the trees. There is a 6' elevation change that helps incorporate the boulders and waterfall into the hillside for a more natural look. There was an existing green house that was removed and the existing garage was turned it into a cabana/pool house with a covered area to relax in with furniture by the deep end of the pool. There is a big deep end for lots of activity along with a nice size shallow end for water sports, including basketball. The clients' wish list included a cave, slide, and waterfalls along with a firepit. The cave can comfortably sit 6 people and is cool in the hot Texas weather. We used pockets of plants around to soften things and break up all the rock to create a more natural look with the overall setting. A bridge was built between the pool and the spa to look like an illusion that the water is running from the pool down into the spa. 2013 APSP Region3 Bronze Award - Designed by Mike Farley.

New garden complete. Pea gravel path leads users through a native plant garden with the essence of a geological feature. The grassland provides year-round interest, attracts birds and pollinators, and functions as a drainage solution, efficiently diverting enormous amounts of runoff away from the home where it had previously pooled after rain showers and spring snowmelts.

Homeowners with kids and active life wanting progressive style to facilitate outdoor living. We fused the traditional neighborhood and home style with a contemporary feel offering an upscale, clean, defined look and the result was awesome! Landscape Architect and Landscape Designer Values: Any given Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer may have a different approach, but Landscape Designer and Landscape Contractor, Brett Berry of Berry Outdoor Living creates living areas that feel connected to the home. As a Landscape Designer and Landscape Contractor working with a Landscape Architect, we try to create the space so it feels relaxed. It should feel like it's been in place with the home for years and not an "add-on". As a Landscape Contractor that merges old and new construction into the landscape design, the goal is to build a space people want to spend time, whether at the bar of the outdoor kitchen, fire pit, patio, or covered porch. When a space becomes a large part of the homeowners' daily life, a Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer, or Landscape Contractor, knows a project has been completed with excellence. I work closely with a Landscape Architect through the design process to ensure the space has the correct "feel". A Landscape Architect and Landscape Designer must design the space to flow from the inside of the home out. The patio and outdoor living space feels like an extension of the home, or another "room" of the home and feels wrapped with fresh, low-maintenance landscaping. In Kansas City patio, and landscaping design, there is a clear trend toward a cleaner, more defined look influenced by a more modern era viewpoint that values a non-cluttered look and feel. So, as a Landscape Contractor, in our circle of clients, we've seen a definite shift toward cleaner, artisan-crafted backyards and fewer "boxy", shrub-heavy yards. A Landscape Architect with a keen sense designs this effect. landscape modern landscape Kansas city berry landscape photos, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures remodel décor, Houzz landscape design photos, Houzz outdoor photos, outdoor landscape design photos, Houzz outdoor photos, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures remodel décor outdoor photos, landscape design outdoor photos, Houzz pictures landscape, landscape back yard, landscape residential, landscape contractor, landscape design, landscape designer, landscaper, landscaping, landscape architect, landscape contractor, landscape photos, modern landscape photos, Staker landscape photos, Kansas City landscape photos, landscape photos back yard, landscape photos residential, landscape design ideas pictures, landscape pictures, landscape design ideas residential, landscape design ideas Staker residence, Houzz landscape photos, Houzz landscape pictures, Houzz landscape, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures Staker residence
