REMARKThe patio was separated from the vehicular area by a living fence to provide some privacy while allowing for air and light to penetrate. All the plants are native and provide year round interest and a verdant feel to the space.

Green Tree Garden Design LtdLooking into the garden from the house. The entire rear wall is glass, so the garden is very visible from inside the house. The main patio is at the same level as the internal floor height, and then you step up to the main lawn. This makes the garden seem more spacious and generous.

Arbordale LandscapingSpitting lion water feature terminates one of the clay walkways. Custom lattice screens were places around to allow neighbouring vines to grow up and around the feature.
June Scott DesignThis front yard features a seating area and jar fountain, ringed by aromatic native plantings of California Lilac, Manzanita, Cleveland Sage. A meadow-style planting of native sedge grasses create soft look in the foreground, and new concrete pavers add a modern touch. We also believe the project’s driveway to be among the prettiest we’ve created or seen: a ribbon of stones and grasses now meanders along a Hollywood-style center planting area.
Northwest Native Landscapes LLCThis compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis.

Southview DesignConnected to the walk-out basement, this paver patio living room and spa is the perfect place to unwind. Sinking the hot tub into the ground improves access, flow, and sight lines. Phantom screens can be pulled down to keep out mosquitos and flies. Look out at the verdant evergreens, or draw the curtains for more privacy.
Just in Thyme Landscape DesignA retired client wanted to jazz up the entrance to her home but leave the orchard, veggie beds and hardscape the way it was. Since she does all the maintenance herself, I wanted to make sure she wouldn't have too many weeds so we used the winter months to sheet mulch the area, killing the massive amount of existing weeds & enriching the hard soil. This worked beautifully.
We added a flagstone pathway with Dymondia between the stones and a small area for her new bench to sit and enjoy the garden. She didn't want plants under her messy tree, so we decorated that area with pots. She has a huge deer & gopher problem which is why she hangs the white ribbons to scare away the deer from her fruit trees.

Erik Jones LandscapingA pond and stream are hidden along these steps. Backyard steps utilize large flagstone pieces. Irish moss, blue star creeper, scotch moss, and mini mondo grass are a few of the plants growing between the stones. This yard has over 60 Japanese Maples and lots of ferns, ligularias, hydrangeas, and other shade plants

Ian Moore DesignEach of the materials was chosen for a balance of richness and simplicity. The Kebony decking continues the rich color tone set by the oiled Cedar shingle and traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban siding on the rear facade of the house. The California Gold Slate for the rear yard patio adds additional texture and depth to the ground plane. The powder-coated metal railings enclose the deck and partition the dog run and bike parking area from the main rear yard. The eclectic plant mix blends California natives with other Mediterranean plants for a variety of color, texture and seasonality.

Lush Gardens IncWe started with a blank canvas backyard for this brand new home in Los Angeles, California. We maximized the leaving area by adding a large concrete patio, planting to soften the walls, and adding tiles with custom lighting for visual interest.
Great American LandscapesThe before! We created multiple areas for outdoor living in a small sloped backyard including a “dry” space under the existing deck by installing an under deck drainage system. We also built a wall to support the patio because the entire yard sloped away from house. Now our client enjoys a brand new patio and no more wasted space under their deck!
