This garden is a perfect example of contemporary city design for a small space. Two custom built hardwood planters provide some height and depth to the narrow front yard. While the tile walkway is set on a stable concrete base ensuring safe passage in and out of the home in both summer and winter. The private back yard maximizes space by using a custom built hardwood table as both an architectural piece that defines the firepit area, and an optional servery for larger dining parties.

A Mercer Island couple wanted to transform their yard from mushy lawn into a more usable, beach-like space. We added new concrete pads to connect the stairs to the waterfront complete with salvaged, cedar logs around a deconstructed wood-burning firepit, invigorating the space and creating a place to relax and entertain right on the water. Closer to the house, an ipe deck built around a new Paloform gas firepit created a new outdoor room for enjoying endless summer evenings. LED landscape lighting completes the improvements.

The LKPT residence, designed by Eric Green, is an outdoor gathering space defined by its sculpted objects and sustainable plantings. The central feature of the space is a 40" hand polished concrete wall. The wall is joined by a custom concrete firepit, pergola, and fountain. Green incorporated the classic lounge bench and chairs for seating, specified from the artists product line.

Un projet de 500m2 avec de multiples espaces de vie, réalisé en étroite collaboration avec le pisciniste ATLANTE-PISCINES. • UN LIEU D'ACCUEIL Afin d'accueillir confortablement les usagers, un cheminement en pas japonais a été réalisé en Travertin, une pierre naturelle calcaire, afin relier l'espace stationnement à la maison. Un tout nouveau perron fait son apparition, en agrandissant l'existant et en le redessinant. Il a été également habillé de dalles de Travertin de grands formats. Les contremarches ont été peintes d'une teinte foncée pour se lier à la maison. • UN COIN CUISINE SUR-MESURE Un espace pour cuisiner a été réalisé dans le prolongement de la véranda en bois exotique et bois blanc. Il se présente sous la forme d'un "U" pour être très pratique à utiliser et propose de multiples fonctions : - Un espace plancha - Un espace Kamado (le barbecue œuf en céramique) - Un espace confection en inox brossé. - Un mobilier de rangement - Une table haute/bar pour - Un éclairage d'appoint en LED intégré au mobilier Un arbre intégré à la cuisine vient apporter du végétal et faire l'ombre à l'espace qui vient accueillir une table haute et des tabourets. Une grande terrasse en IPE vient accueillir un espace salon ainsi qu'une table pouvant accueillir 10 convives. • UN COIN PISCINE Le pourtour de la piscine a été traité pour permettre l'accès direct à la piscine, dans le prolongement de la maison. - Une terrasse en pourtour de la piscine pour installer le mobilier. Le bois utilisé est le CUMARU, un bois exotique idéal en bord d'eau. - Un salon en contrebas autour d'un brasero (coin feu) pour les soirées d'été entre amis. La banquette vient proposer un dossier en angle. Des marches viennent permettre la descente et l'ensemble à été réalisé en CUMARU. • UN LIEU DE STATIONNEMENT L'espace voiture a été volontairement isolé à l'aide de plantations qui viendront créer un écran végétal au fil du temps. • DES PLANTATIONS LUXURIANTES Ce jardin naturaliste vient accueillir des rocailles et des plantes qui viendront fleurir au fil des saisons et/ou proposer des feuillages qui viendront se colorer au fil des saisons. Les fleurs se veulent mellifères pour attirer les insectes et des fruits viendront nourrir les oiseaux.

This is an example of a mid-sized contemporary backyard full sun garden in Minneapolis with a fire feature and concrete pavers.

This large property was a blank canvas when Pro-Land was hired to complete the design and build for this backyard retreat. Initially, the clients had just wanted a small outdoor space with a kitchen and a cabana with a fireplace. As the design progressed things changed; a secondary covered structure was added to the kitchen, and the patio was expanded to include a concrete pool. The natural stone fireplace in the cabana is a focal piece in this backyard. The wood and natural stone along with a crackling fire create a comfortable and cozy space to relax on those cooler summer nights. Raised planter boxes frame the path to the pool, separating the spaces while creating a cohesive feel through the use of materials. Truly an entertainers paradise, the yard features a gunnite pool complete with hot tub and tanning deck, a covered outdoor kitchen & bar, custom wood burning fireplace, and modern cabana finished with automatic roller screens, and sliding glass doors.

Overhaul of a large family garden with a contemporary feel - spacious and simple, keeping the space for kids to play sports, trampoline and use their styled playhouse. But with areas extending from the house for adult/family entertaining. A firepit, outdoor "bar area", feature dining area and floating bench with weather proof fabrics. Low maintenance materials - Millboard decking, artificial grass, painted trellis and powder coated pendant light supports, in a cohesive pallet of colours.

The goal of this landscape design and build project was to create a simple patio using peastone with a granite cobble edging. The patio sits adjacent to the residence and is bordered by lawn, vegetable garden beds, and a cairn rock water feature. Designed and built by Skyline Landscapes, LLC.

This project showcases a grand custom water feature, beginning with an impressive water wall that flows down through multiple basins, culminating in a vast pond. It is accentuated by several large concrete pads that appear to float over the water, serving as stepping stones to the network of pathways weaving through the yard. Modern and elegant materials were meticulously selected to complement the design, including sleek finishes that enhance the feature's contemporary aesthetic. To highlight the space and integrate it seamlessly with the natural surroundings, a variety of native grasses and plants were chosen, adding both beauty and ecological benefits to the landscape.

Homeowners with kids and active life wanting progressive style to facilitate outdoor living. We fused the traditional neighborhood and home style with a contemporary feel offering an upscale, clean, defined look and the result was awesome! Landscape Architect and Landscape Designer Values: Any given Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer may have a different approach, but Landscape Designer and Landscape Contractor, Brett Berry of Berry Outdoor Living creates living areas that feel connected to the home. As a Landscape Designer and Landscape Contractor working with a Landscape Architect, we try to create the space so it feels relaxed. It should feel like it's been in place with the home for years and not an "add-on". As a Landscape Contractor that merges old and new construction into the landscape design, the goal is to build a space people want to spend time, whether at the bar of the outdoor kitchen, fire pit, patio, or covered porch. When a space becomes a large part of the homeowners' daily life, a Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer, or Landscape Contractor, knows a project has been completed with excellence. I work closely with a Landscape Architect through the design process to ensure the space has the correct "feel". A Landscape Architect and Landscape Designer must design the space to flow from the inside of the home out. The patio and outdoor living space feels like an extension of the home, or another "room" of the home and feels wrapped with fresh, low-maintenance landscaping. In Kansas City patio, and landscaping design, there is a clear trend toward a cleaner, more defined look influenced by a more modern era viewpoint that values a non-cluttered look and feel. So, as a Landscape Contractor, in our circle of clients, we've seen a definite shift toward cleaner, artisan-crafted backyards and fewer "boxy", shrub-heavy yards. A Landscape Architect with a keen sense designs this effect. landscape modern landscape Kansas city berry landscape photos, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures remodel décor, Houzz landscape design photos, Houzz outdoor photos, outdoor landscape design photos, Houzz outdoor photos, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures remodel décor outdoor photos, landscape design outdoor photos, Houzz pictures landscape, landscape back yard, landscape residential, landscape contractor, landscape design, landscape designer, landscaper, landscaping, landscape architect, landscape contractor, landscape photos, modern landscape photos, Staker landscape photos, Kansas City landscape photos, landscape photos back yard, landscape photos residential, landscape design ideas pictures, landscape pictures, landscape design ideas residential, landscape design ideas Staker residence, Houzz landscape photos, Houzz landscape pictures, Houzz landscape, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures, Houzz landscape design ideas pictures Staker residence
