Oak Tree Setting With Hillside Views, Landscape Renovation, Northern California

APLD 2021 Silver Award Winning Landscape Design. An expansive back yard landscape with several mature oak trees and a stunning Golden Locust tree has been transformed into a welcoming outdoor retreat. The renovations include a wraparound deck, an expansive travertine natural stone patio, stairways and pathways along with concrete retaining walls and column accents with dramatic planters. The pathways meander throughout the landscape... some with travertine stepping stones and gravel and those below the majestic oaks left natural with fallen leaves. Raised vegetable beds and fruit trees occupy some of the sunniest areas of the landscape. A variety of low-water and low-maintenance plants for both sunny and shady areas include several succulents, grasses, CA natives and other site-appropriate Mediterranean plants, complimented by a variety of boulders. Dramatic white pots provide architectural accents, filled with succulents and citrus trees. Low voltage pathway and garden lights provide nighttime ambiance.

Rock Landscaping Design Ideas - Austin, TX

YardDoc

YardDoc designed and created multiple rock landscapes for customers in Austin, TX. These drought resistant landscapes liven up your yard with unique designs and individual beauty. While we craft every landscape to the yard and customer, we present examples here to inspire you. Working with the existing trees and plants, we built this landscape to match the wrought iron fence. First, we placed a limestone barrier in a design reminiscent of a lake emptying into a river. Outside the retainer stone, we laid larger, red river rocks. On the inside we placed smaller, black rocks to highlight the rest of our modifications. We built a stone fire pit in the center then crafted stone benches for seating around the campfire. We built a path our of large, flat stones that bring the different colors and textures together. Finally, we placed one last stone that, while decorative, can also be used as an end table, if necessary.

Entdecken Sie unsere Transformation eines historischen Juwels in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid! Wir freuen uns, unser neuestes Projekt in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid vorstellen zu können – ein zeitloses Juwel, das ursprünglich 1890 vom renommierten Architekten Jacob Klinkhamer entworfen wurde. Wir haben uns die reiche Geschichte dieses angesehenen Hauses zu eigen gemacht und es in ein einladendes und modernes Zuhause verwandelt, das sorgfältig auf die Bedürfnisse seiner neuen Familie zugeschnitten ist. Um das Erbe und die Schönheit der Straßenfassade zu bewahren, die unter Denkmalschutz steht, haben wir darauf geachtet, dass nur geringfügige Anpassungen vorgenommen wurden, um ihren historischen Charme zu bewahren. Doch hinter dem eleganten Äußeren wartete eine umfassende Innenrenovierung und bauliche Überarbeitung. Von der Vertiefung des Kellergeschosses bis zum Einbau eines Aufzugsschachts haben wir nichts unversucht gelassen, um diesen Raum für modernes Wohnen neu zu gestalten. Jeder Aspekt des Grundrisses wurde sorgfältig neu angeordnet, um die Funktionalität zu maximieren und einen nahtlosen Übergang zwischen den Räumen zu schaffen. Das Ergebnis? Eine harmonische Mischung aus klassischem und modernem Design, die den Geist der Vergangenheit widerspiegelt und gleichzeitig den Komfort von heute vereint. Das krönende Juwel dieses Projekts ist die Hinzufügung einer atemberaubenden modernen Dachterrasse, die einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Skyline der Stadt bietet und der perfekte Ort für Entspannung und Unterhaltung ist. Wir laden Sie ein, die Transformation dieses historischen Juwels auf unserer Website zu erkunden. Erleben Sie die Verbindung von Charme der alten Welt mit moderner Eleganz und sehen Sie, wie wir ein Haus in ein geschätztes Zuhause verwandelt haben.

Lake Forest HOA Home Front Yard Remodel with Drought Tolerant Succulent Garden

Southwest Boulder & Stone

Karen transformed her front yard with 100% drought-tolerant landscaping, using water-wise plants and a wide variety of natural stone materials. Cobble, rubble, pebble, flagstone and crushed rock were combined to create a dry streambed that adds a fluid movement to the yard. A basalt fountain water feature was positioned near the entry. Since Karen’s home is part of a Homeowner’s Association, speed was essential to the project. She hired Laura Eubanks of Design for Serenity to facilitate the quick turnaround, completing the project in just 5 days. Design for Serenity designed and installed the beautiful landscaping and succulent tapestries, while Karen herself selected the stone. Karen thinks of landscape rock as a form of art, considering it to be one of the most important elements in her project. She spent several hours with Laura’s team selecting the perfect boulders and materials from our Fallbrook yard. Her hard work paid off: Karen’s guests and HOA neighbors all raved about the impact of natural stone in this total yard transformation.

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
