As the homeowner and I were standing in the back yard observing the finished work, she began to weep. I asked, “what’s wrong?” and she answered with her broken voice saying, “This is exactly what I had wanted”.
As the homeowner described his vision of a natural creek with indigenous and xeric plantings. Details started to come to my mind to implement this fabulous courtyard. It was extremely challenging and fun.
The brick overlay existing walks, cobblestone entrance columns and banco are part of our company’s craftsmanship. The stucco wall and drystream were to give this family a comfortable gathering area. Overlaid existing concrete walk and brick patio by front door and added circular brick sitting area. The drystream was also used to divert rainwater away from the house. We consider engineering and aesthetics as we design these landscapes.
The homeowner had a prior contractor install a perennial garden, but they were not comfortable and hired us to create something more natural. We utilized existing site boulders.
These homeowners wanted an updated look and expressed that they wanted to entertain friends and guest. The final product was a result of the clients vision and ideas for their outdoor living space.
The homeowner had great ideas as we designed this ramada together. As we put their ideas and our details on paper, we knew it had to be extremely well thought out. The owners suggested an angled structure to separate the fireplace from the hot tub area. The hot tub area has ½” thick clear glass which allows them to see the aspens and perennials as well as help block breezes while they enjoy the tub, even in the winter.
This builder had entered this house into the “Parade of Homes”. Many people toured the home, and commented not only on the interior and its beautiful floor plan and décor, but also loved both the front and back yard landscape. The builder won the prestigious “People’s Choice” award for its price category. We believe the landscape was a very important influence to all those who voted for this particular home!
