The brick raised planters that flank this gazebo and patio structure enclose the space and make a shady summer retreat to view the garden beyond. To the right of the plan are a series of raised planters for cuttings and herb garden areas, as well as a kids garden planter. Beyond this is a second flagstone patio area under a grove of small patio trees and finally a formal tiered fountain in a raised stone fountain basin.

Waterfront lots are an especially nice site for a negative edge pool. This example creates a four foot sheet of water at the rear edge while creating the illusion an endless seam between the pool and the water body beyond.

To make the most of the views and to persuade visitors to move into the landscape we created a generous patio space flanked with raised planters and topped with an arbor for shade. In addition the patio at the rear boasts of a stained concrete patio finish with a decorative medallion at center.

Using the advantage of a sloping backyard here we have created a split elevation using a retaining wall to create high drama as you approach the pool area which is complete with a pool house, an outdoor kitchen and waterfall.

Corner subdivision lots usually have a commanding view in any neighborhood. Here we have used this feature to the houses best advantage creating a long diagonal axial landscaping bed featuring several specimen ornamental trees and colorful shrubbery from front to side of the house.

The existing shed roof storage space at the rear of this home is converted into an outdoor kitchen which enjoys a commanding view of the backyard. The perimeter of the property is surrounded by a variety of plantings to enjoy year round.

Garden home lots tend to be smaller in depth so we created a patio space that took advantage of the views from side to side and maximized the feeling of depth to the rear of the property by adding several layers of plant materials and a focal point swing arbor.
