What is now a suburban backyard dream was originally a long yard that wrapped around the house with a few existing trees and some bark.
An expansive grass area was added that meandered through the yard in order to draw the eye to the back corner of the house making it appear larger. The grass area added additional usable space for entertaining, barbecuing or for whatever your favorite outdoor activities may be.
A beautiful whimsical dry creek bed was placed into the yard for both functional and aesthetic reasons. A dry creek bed is one way to improve the drainage in your yard, as well as to create the feeling of movement and fluidity.
Cottage like plantings were carefully, yet naturally placed throughout the landscape through the use of rolling mounds. A gorgeous rose garden was created for the owner, who is an avid rose gardener. To create an additional vantage point in the yard, a flagstone patio was constructed that led to a relaxing seating bench.
A copper fountain and garden art were placed throughout the yard. As with all of our designs, we pay careful attention to making sure that all of the senses are stimulated while enjoying the landscape.
This backyard is a feast for the eyes and the senses for sure. Sir your designs and work are impecable. I only wish I lived closer so I could partake of your services. I most certainly share your talents in conversation any chance I get, with my California friends.

I envy this kind of 'retreat'. I would just want to be out there all the time, curled up with a good book and inhaling the floral scents and the wonderful tree-cleaned air. A garden like this gives us back so much more than it looks; it gives us a sense of peace, well-being and satisfaction and allows us to escape the humdrum demands of our busy days. Well done, designer, like I said, I am envious.
