Landscape Design Elements

A swimming pool is a popular backyard feature, but a custom-designed, expertly constructed pool environment is a sure place for the best of times. Imagine memorable gatherings that make the most of your summer afternoons with inviting spaces to lounge and unwind.

Water is a life force. Water features bring both the energizing sensation of movement and soothing effect of stillness to the garden atmosphere. A landscape design that employs falling water might call for the rumpus of a splashing fountain or the soft music of a feeder stream trickling over stones

Landscape structures such as pergolas, porches, and pool houses may serve as simple shelters or as fully independent outbuildings. They help to define outdoor living spaces and often serve as focal points that draw you into the landscape.

Our landscape architects use patios, walkways, and retaining walls to make the “floor plan” for your outdoor living space. Hardscape features create a framework for movement, visual definition, and balance among various outdoor living areas that extend your home’s livable space.

For many clients, an outdoor kitchen is the family’s entertaining and dining hub. Meal prep feels easier and there’s just something irresistible about eating outside in the open air.

There is nothing like staying up late gazing into a crackling fire with good friends and family. Fire is a central element in many of our landscape designs. An outdoor fireplace or fire pit invites us to linger in the garden long past twilight and into the evening chill.
