Front Entranceway
This is a simple entrance layout for a new client, the design address problems related to the navigation from the portico porch to the walkway, the existing method was disjointed and by extending the porch surface makes for a better approach. The seat wall obscures the walkway and compliments the raised garden.
Planting will consist of 3 large ornamental trees to provide a semi-canopy over the walkway and low profile planting involving grasses and ground covers.

View from Kitchen Table
This is an illustration displaying the view from the kitchen nook thru the patio doors and into the backyard landscape, the client spends a considerable time indoors and I felt with this perspective the backyard would become more inviting.

Backyard Entertainment Concept
This is a general hardscape layout displaying the "bones" of the landscape, for entertaining the deck contains features such as overflow seating incorporated into the deck and a generous BBQ island area that can contain barstool type seating. There is a separate pergola area that contains two entrances one passive steppingstones and the other from the lower paver patio. This overall design is what I would consider a low-profile landscape whereby the plant material can soften some of the curvy-linear lines and provide interesting seating areas.

Large Entertainment Deck
This is a large two pod deck consisting of a steel superstructure, concrete surface plus a combination metal/glass railing, The structure alone will require a concrete caisson foundation because of the shear size and weight. There will be two exits to the lower landscape and will be joined by a common walkway. Planting will be special
xeriscape materials because of the intense heat and the fact the client is on a well system. This is the second unique project designed and built for this client and each time it pushes the boundaries of design and construction.
