Melissa Gerstle DesignThis colonial home was lacking curb appeal. The entry beds were too narrow for the scale of the house and the plants were overgrown and did not match the formality and symmetry of the architecture. The homeowners wanted a colorful perennial garden that complemented the house, with a nod towards the Texas native landscape. We accomplished this through a garden entry that offered structure and symmetry. The entry stairs were flanked with new low, stone pedestals to house planting urns. And the new planting beds and entry path were bordered with a low boxwood hedge to match the formality of the house. The design also called for much larger planting beds, spanning the entire front of the property, which now gives the entry the proper scale for the house and lot. The plant palette was designed using primarily native Texas plants, giving the garden colorful blooms throughout the year. It’s got an English garden feel with a Texas twist. The homeowner (a gardener herself) has enjoyed adding new plants to the beds, continuously evolving this beautiful garden.
Daryl Toby - AguaFina Gardens InternationalThis small space was once the main parking area for this cottage lakeside home and was radically transformed into an intimate and inviting courtyard. Defined by a hand stacked fieldstone wall, granite stepping stones lead from the entrance of the garden and gradually wind their way over a stream bed and lead to the porch that borders the garden. Although set in a cold weather climate, the client requested that the garden be developed to have a lush tropical feeling yet remain consistent with the general surroundings. This was achieved by using a mixture of large leafed perennials such as Ligularia, Hosta and Petasites (Butterbur) ,along with various groundcovers and other perennials including Ferns, Iris and Japanese Forest Grass. The central feature of the garden is a naturalized meandering stream and pond filled with Koi. The use of water in the garden thematically ties the house and courtyard to the homes’ surrounding, an adjacent lake, and adds movement and tranquil sound to the space. Stepping stones appear to float across the surface of the water allowing the visitor another way to enjoy the space. Scale is essential with even the smallest detail needing to be well executed within such limited space.

Jon Allen Fine Metal Art"Looking Forward" - Abstract Metal Garden Sculpture by Jon Allen
This free-standing and contemporary three-dimensional metal art sculpture reaches upward, but it also looks back at the ground as it rises. The bare metal ribbon rises up off its base, its bottom end hanging down toward the earth, and then it reaches upward with a serpentine undulation. Midway in its ascension, a spiral curls back, suggesting that there's more to this piece's motion than simply striving skyward.
Dimensions:
- Approximately 62"H x 12"L x 7"D including the 14" artistically textured wooden base.
- Ready to secure to a patio, deck or garden stone with the included pre-drilled mounting plate for easy installation.(Screws not included)
Color: All Natural Silver
Please note: custom pieces are available for your size and color specifications.
Seamless Construction IncIntroducing this backyard remodeling project expertly completed by @seamlessconstruction.inc 's team in the heart of #LosAngeles
The project starts with artificial turf welcoming you into the backyard, as per the client’s request, to replace the old driveway’ falling asphalt. Additionally, a strip drain system was added to address the issue of flooding in the ADU caused by heavy rain.
To ensure seamless transitions within the backyard, adjustments in elevation were made and a striking set of new stairs were added designed with some under lights. It was crafted using Belgard pavers and Bullnose in graphite color, seamlessly blending with the overall landscape.
Next to the ADU, a charming patio was constructed using Mexican tiles and grey grout, elegantly complementing the other side's design. The artificial turf area was thoughtfully created to add recreational space for the homeowners.
A raised concrete pad in this section, also featuring Mexican tiles, is planned for future conversion into a spa and cold plunge area, awaiting installation of the amenities. A highlight of the renovation is the captivating fire pit area, decorated with Mexican tiles, matching with the concrete elements.
This inviting space is expected to be a favorite spot, especially during colder nights.
Throughout the project, careful attention was given to ensure that all elements blended cohesively. Thank you for watching and stay tuned for more exciting projects from Seamless Construction.

Harry Holding StudioThe back garden for an innovative property in Fulham Cemetery - the house featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs in January 2021. The design had to enhance the relationship with the bold, contemporary architecture and open up a dialogue with the wild green space beyond its boundaries. Seen here in spring, this lush space is an immersive journey through a woodland edge planting scheme.
