Colorworks Landscape DesignWe're thrilled to share this remarkable project that we had the privilege of being part of. Here's a glimpse of what went into making this outdoor oasis a reality:
? Removing Old Landscaping: Out with the old to make room for the new! We started by clearing the slate and saying goodbye to the past.
?️ Grading: A crucial step in ensuring that every inch of this landscape would be just right. The foundation for greatness!
? Hardscape Form Planning: Precision and design expertise came together to plan the hardscape elements that would shape this outdoor paradise.
? New Custom Concrete Pathways inlaid with Mexican Beach Pebbles: We added a touch of elegance and uniqueness with custom concrete pathways, beautifully adorned with Mexican beach pebbles.
? Installation of Hundreds of Plants: Nature was our palette, and we painted it with a vibrant selection of plants, breathing life into this space.
?️ Artificial Turf: Say hello to the low-maintenance beauty of artificial turf. A green, welcoming space year-round!
? Irrigation: To keep this landscape thriving, we installed a state-of-the-art irrigation system, ensuring every plant gets the care it deserves.
? Lighting: When the sun sets, the magic continues with carefully placed lighting that accentuates the beauty of this outdoor haven.

Little Miracles Designs - TorontoThe approach to this backyard was to turn the orientation of the design to take attention away from the squareness of the space. A cozy conversation nook was designed with a raised planter behind.

Northwest Native Landscapes LLCDramatic plant textures, modern hardscaping and sharp angles enhanced this mid-century modern bungalow. Soft plants were chosen to contrast with the sharp angles of the pathways and hard edges of the MCM home, while providing all-season interest. Horizontal privacy screens wrap the front porch and create intimate garden spaces – some visible only from the street and some visible only from inside the home. The front yard is relatively small in size, but full of colorful texture.

Mark S. Garff, Landscape ArchitectAlready partially enclosed by an ipe fence and concrete wall, our client had a vision of an outdoor courtyard for entertaining on warm summer evenings since the space would be shaded by the house in the afternoon. He imagined the space with a water feature, lighting and paving surrounded by plants.
With our marching orders in place, we drew up a schematic plan quickly and met to review two options for the space. These options quickly coalesced and combined into a single vision for the space. A thick, 60” tall concrete wall would enclose the opening to the street – creating privacy and security, and making a bold statement. We knew the gate had to be interesting enough to stand up to the large concrete walls on either side, so we designed and had custom fabricated by Dennis Schleder (www.dennisschleder.com) a beautiful, visually dynamic metal gate.
Other touches include drought tolerant planting, bluestone paving with pebble accents, crushed granite paving, LED accent lighting, and outdoor furniture. Both existing trees were retained and are thriving with their new soil.
