Family Fun in Paradise: A newly updated front landscape includes a stamped concrete walkway and driveway accented with a river of flagstone. The backyard features four distinct entertainment zones. An outstanding freeform pool includes a massive rock waterfall with a swim-out grotto. There is also a covered pavilion, a pergola off of the family room and a seat wall around a firepit. On any given day, you can see kids in the pool, the dog running on the lawn and Mom and Dad relaxing in the shade enjoying their bit of paradise.

An Entertainer's Delight: This was a complete renovation of front and back with stacked rock retaining walls, a pool, spa, waterfall and outdoor kitchen.  The mulch along the house is recycled tumbled glass to match the turquoise pots and accessories.  This garden was featured on the Valley Oak Respite Center Garden Tour in 2006.

Blank Slate in a New Home: A hillside, back and side yards were transformed into distinct rooms.  Slate was used on the patios and geometric slate stepping  stones were made to transition between the two areas.  Fountains and striking pots add dramatic interest.  Hillside plantings and a patio cover gave much needed privacy.

Property Recaptured: Front, back and two side yards were completely redone. The fence was pushed out on one side to make use of this area as a new room.  A utilitarian side yard was transformed into a lovely raised shade garden on one side and a vegetable garden on the other.  Flagstone was used on the main patio and flagstone accents on the other patios and walkways. This garden was featured on the Valley Humane Garden Tour in 2006.

What a Difference a Wall Makes!: This client was interested in Feng Shui.  To achieve more harmony in the garden, a straight redwood retaining wall was removed and a curved, stacked rock wall installed.  Soft, full plantings and succulents in the rock wall add textural interest.  In the forgotten side yard, blue tumbled glass was included in the dry creek bed to simulate water and to blend with the client’s collection of blue accessories.
