Bosler Earth DesignDesigner’s Notes:
For the back yard, add a firescape zone between the hills and the residence with a succulent garden that will not interfere with the stunning view.

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.

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.

LandCrafters, LLCValders Rustic pavers are utilized as steppers, framed with matching Valders stone planking, to lead visitors to a secret gate with a hidden latch. This is the portal to the back of the house and the west-side pool. LED path lights from Kitchler illuminate the way along a concrete sidewalk. A custom cedar fence with Rain patterned safety glass panels separates the space from an encroaching neighbor while reflecting the mid-century modern style of the home.
True Scape DesignWe took some pictures of this project before it was finished and then never had time to come back after it was mulched and detailed out. Still we liked the hardscape layout, walls and the way we leveled the yard and expanded the driveway and so we decided to share it anyways.
