Stain of wood

Q

Like Fire pit and red modern chairs to accent our red doors

Q

We like the interesting angles, simple plantings

Q

We like the concrete squares/pavers, clean look, wood elements, simple plantings

Q

We like the pavers, wood elements, stones, gravel, clean look, horizontal fence

Q

Second favorite backyard you have done. Love the differing concrete and stone patterning, grasses growing through stone, mid-century look. Could do without the more garden-type area.

Q

Grasses in stone, differing patterns

Q

Like the green in the stone

Q

Neat walk up path for front! Love the Japanese Maple tree and more midcentury modern plantings

Q

For front, like the green with the more modern concrete

Q

For front yard, we like this differing stone/concrete walk up style

Q

Really interesting! Connects the spaces

Q

Love the interest of the stone and concrete differences with the stark greenery

Q

All of it! Regarding plantings, I do thin we lean toward as much of the California-style plantings as possible here in Wisconsin, ie less of the flower/perennials of Wisconsin, within reason.

Q

Love these bluestones and the substantial green grasses

Q

Love love this shot for the other similar reasons - really interesting concrete patterns, love the greenery planted between.

Q

Love the squares with interspersed stone as well as the large figure stone and greenery coming through the stones

Q

Definitely our favorite project of yours! Love the interesting concrete patterns that define yet connected the spaces, as well as the other interesting stone textures interspersed. We love the concrete being broken up this way and think this color may be great with our white house. We particularly like your symmetrical gras plantings. We do love the look of alliums (have some in our front yard!), we are concerned about the bees. Something similar?

Q

Love it all! Though we like yours and others' designs where the solid concrete is broken up by the small stones. Like the interesting concrete pattern in the back interspersed with grass. Love the wood elements, the rectangular fire pit and sectional-like seating, and the way the spaces are divided yet in proximity. Like the green elements OK, but probably prefer some of the other pics with the more mid-century plantings look.

Q

Love this pattern of stone and the green and wood elements and design. Don't prefer this coloring of stone though - refer to other pictures.

Q

We love this concrete/stone combo, with the pieces in the foreground breaking away. Love the greenery and the wood elements that make the concrete not feel so cold. Love the fireplace rim, like the square but prefer rectangle.

Q

Really love this! Love the staggered concrete and blue little stones. Love the minimal, mid-century green plantings with the wood plank elements interspersed.

Q

Love the hardscape component with cement/stone staggered with small stones, interesting pattern. differentiated yet flowing spaces. Green and lighting in the perimeter with some vegetation within. Really like the stone fire area though prefer rectangular

Q

We really love this one - love the ground part with the concrete interspersed with other texture of small stones. Love the square, minimalist lines of the design and features. Also love the incorporation of the natural elements of plantings, tree, and built in wood features.

Q

Really like the wood surround of the hot tub - perhaps a good height for ours? Like rectangular fire place and seating area, proximity to hot tub

Q

Greenery, natural elements, segue of different spaces with incorporation of hot tub and fire area. This is perhaps more jungle-like than we prefer, as we do prefer slightly more manicured mid-century modern styles

Q

This space isn't quite as polished or natural as we would prefer, but it's a nice example of the fire/hot tub area. Also quite like the incorporation of the wood element in the background and the plantings of green grass that break up the space of the less natural elements

Q

Same room, different angle. Also see here the rectangular fire pit which we really love.

Q

Like the natural incorporation of the hot tub into nature/the elements. Really like the clean, green plantings

Q

Like the perimeter green elements, the wood around hot tub, and the sense of the smaller space arrangement of hot tub, seating area, mix of stone and wood. We tend to like the rectangular/sectional seating areas.

Q

Like the green and wood natural elements, the natural-ish looking hot tub in proximity to fire pit that is rectangular

Q

Like the wood around hot tub

Q

This style is a bit more country/traditional than we prefer, but we do like the separate yet close spaces that includes the hot tub, seating area, table area. Like the seating/rectangular fireplace and the incorporation of the greenery

Q

Love wood surround of hot tub

Q

Like wood surround of hot tub with greenery, also how seating areas are close to an incorporate hot tub
