DESIGN PORTFOLIO
 

BEFORE:  

This house was beautiful new construction and elegant inside, but the lot was small and pretty much a blank slate.  There was an existing boulder retaining wall along the back and a 6 foot fence that had to stay.

The homeowners wanted to create some privacy from the neighbors, as well as a space for entertaining.
 

Before: The small yard was very plain,
and the space was dominated by
the neighbor's house
 

Before: A very small concrete patio hugged the house, and had little or no room for barbecuing and entertaining

 AFTER        
The homeowners took a leap of faith and agreed to go with an angled layout that
I had designed. This opened up the space and created interest

16" x 16" slab pavers continue around
side of house

Air conditioner screen hides the unit
and muffles the sound

The triangular pergola is the feature that helps to creates the feeling of privacy. As the
plantings grow in, including some 'Little Gem' magnolias, a crape myrtle, and
a 'Fireglow' Japanese maple, the garden retreat sense will increase.
 

"I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful landscape design you created for our yard. We are both very pleased with your work. You really have a talent in this area. Keep up the good work!"
