PLANT Architect Inc.Three generations of one family live in a semi-detached house on an urban hillcrest that drops off sharply in their backyard. They wanted an enclosed, courtyard-like rear garden that would enable them to use as much of the slope as possible and provide some privacy on a tightly constrained site. Wood structures occupy significantly more area than the planting beds on this small, sloping lot. These structures perform multiple storage functions and create distinct areas – the dining area, the bridge to the shed, the stepped-down ‘secret garden’ at the rear with a Venus Dogwood tree and bench seating, and several planted areas. Vibrantly painted slats accent the natural-finish boards in the cedar fence, ensuring that there is colour in the garden year round. Between the side walkway and the rear entry a half-storey below, a balustrade with angled slats organizes the accent colours into a spectrum. From the interior of the house, the chromatic shift in the slats and the spaces between them create visual effects that change with the viewing point.
Harmony Design NorthwestThe gently sloping yard is divided into two distinct areas.
We kept a large grassy area for the dogs and to offset the large patio.
Instead of a harsh retaining we used the slope to create a natural stone stream bed that collects rainwater and drains it away from the house.

MG GardensRather than covering up the cream brick of this 1950's house, the client wanted to celebrate it with a garden of strong forms, and bright contrasting colours. Drought tolerant and low maintenance. Here we have Aloe 'Topaz' again, the hero of the winter garden.

LAND BY DESIGNPoured in place over-sized concrete pavers reinforced with wire mesh and separated with Mexican beach pebble form the basis of this outdoor patio / outdoor room landscape architecture garden design. Square pavers contrast with the softer circularity of the boundary. A planting scheme with a pom pom topiary is a nod to the retro contemporary style of the property and contrasts nicely with the white wall. A ring of flowering hydrangeas soften the architecture and contain the space. Japanese maple and ornamental grasses provide variety of texture and color whilst the vinca ground-cover and overall texture ensure interest throughout the year.
