Land & Water DesignA Backyard Resort with a freeform saltwater pool as the focal point, a spa provides a spot to relax. A large raised waterfall spills into the pool, appearing to flow from the koi pond above. We extended a streambed to flow from behind the outdoor kitchen, all the way to the patio, to spill into the koi pond. A Sports Court at one end of the yard with putting greens meander throughout the landscape and the water features. A curved outdoor kitchen with a large Viking grill with a warming drawer to the sink and outdoor refrigeration. A Pavilion with large roof and columns unite the landscape with the home while creating an outdoor living room with a stone fireplace along the back wall, while still allowing views of the yard beyond.
Whisper House Real Estate Group, L.L.CThis water feature doubled as a retaining wall. The addition of a water feature in a front yard provides a wonderful backdrop for guests coming over. At night, the illuminated water adds mystery to the house. The plants surrounding the waterfall were chosen for height and color. There is no need to water here as the spray from the waterfall keeps things lush.

CA YardscapeThis project was an entry to the Water Wise Landscape Recognition Program in Brantford. Features include: Spillway from downspout directed to supply water to drip-line of young Red Maple. This replaced a lawn that was in constant battle with invasive weeds and crabgrass. The grade of the yard was changed to retain as much rain water as possible to significantly reduce run-off. All plants used require little to no water need outside of what Mother Nature provides.
Private Gardens, Public PlacesSwitchback paths were created and erosion was stopped by the use of native plants to make this beautiful and textured landscape on a steep bank down to Lake Michigan.
Iris Kaplow Landscapes, Inc.This Moroccan inspired Rooftop Garden in Chelsea features many outdoor rooms with pergolas, fencing, fiberglass containers, statues, and outdoor seating. This layered container garden is a plethora of different specimen plants- both flowering and evergreen, which provide for brilliant contrasting textures as well as a greater sense of depth.
FormLA Landscaping California native Aristada is a great alternative to dangerously invasive and combustible Mexican feather grass. As lovely as it is as a simple vertical accent, again, its fluidity of movement is its primary charm. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography
Rosborough Partners Inc.We are bursting with pride to have the very talented Carol Yetken host a multi garden club group walk through the impressive Baha'i Temple gardens that we manage. Attendees learned the history about the design and evolution of the landmark property's surrounding gardens and fountains since the original design was approved in 1951.

Julie Moir Messervy Design Studio (JMMDS)This terraced landscape in Vermont flows from a high perch on a contemporary home’s second-story viewing deck through a grassy play space with a fire pit terrace, past mown fields to a swimming pond with a small lake house and on through a wet meadow to a beaver pond beyond. Here, a lush perennial bed overflowing with color hugs the side of the garage. In the background are apple trees and a terraced hillside vegetable garden surrounded by a solar-powered electric fence to keep out the deer and porcupines. Birdhouses decorate the fenceposts. The perennials include Rudbeckia, Buddleia, Shasta daisies, and Amsonia.
