BOXHILLAdding desert landscaping to this charming water feature perfects the illusion of a natural desert spring.
Dean Herald-Rolling Stone LandscapesDesigned to make the most of a steep site, this private home in Sydney’s south has created great spaces to enjoy the view of the water. The design features a covered main pavilion with a fully equipped kitchen including a sink, fridge and wood fire pizza oven. Designed for entertainment it also includes a large dining area, sunken spa and wall mounted TV. O the same level of the pavilion is a sunken fire pit area nestled underneath a large existing Frangipani. Travel down a set of steel stairs and you come to an inviting blue pool with wet edge spill over out to the bay. The curves of the pool and lower lawn area designed to add interest when viewing from above. A generous lounge and nearby pool pavilion provides plenty of places to relax by the pool and the cantilevered section of the pavilion, with feature timber panelling, ensures that there is shade poolside and look fantastic next to another mature Frangipani. The overall look and feel of the project is sleek and contemporary, with plants chosen to emphasise the shapes of the design and to add contrasting colours. This project is definitely a great place entertain and relax whilst enjoying the view of the water.

California WaterscapesThis unique project was for a very large front yard. The homeowner wanted a pond and stream that her kids and dogs could interact with as well as bring the large lawn to life.
They were also very concerned with water consumption, as her front yard was entirely lawn before. We assured her that ponds use 50% less water than lawns and traditional landscaping. The home owners couldn't be happier with our work and even allow us to show off their garden in our yearly Pond Tour!

Dig Your Garden Landscape DesignPhoto taken just after installation, see updated photos. The front areas of this landscape were transformed from a tired, water thirsty lawn into a contemporary setting with dramatic concrete pavers leading to the home's entrance and a new driveway using large concrete slabs with small black pebbles set in resin. Plants for sun and part shade complete this project, just completed in February 2014. The back areas of this transformation are in a separate project: Modern Water-Side Landscape Remodel http://www.houzz.com/projects/456093/Modern-Water-Side-Landscape-Remodel---Lawn-Replaced--Novato--CA
