Blue Sierra Landscape ConstructionModern landscape with different gravels and poured in place concrete.
Sweet Smiling LandscapesIn this project I set out to create a modern yet inviting front yard. Having ditched the lawn we went with a drought tolerant plant pallet made up of gray and blue foliage, with pops of orange. I save on irrigation I designed the space to capture all the rain water that falls on the property. This was achieved through contouring the land to capture rain water and then incorporating various gravels into the hard scape. Gravel slows water down dining it a chance to absorb into the soil.
Pacific Garden DesignAfter moving into a mid-century ranch home on Spokane's South Hill, these homeowners gave the tired landscape a dramatic makeover. The aging asphalt driveway was replaced by precast concrete pavers that coordinate with a new walkway of sandwashed concrete pads. A pared-down front lawn reduces the overall water use of the landscape, while sculptural boulders add character. A small flagstone patio creates a spot to enjoy the outdoors in the courtyard-like area between the house and the towering ponderosa pines. The backyard received a similar update, with a new garden area, water feature, and paver patio anchoring the updated space.
Village Landscape ArchitectureThe entry drive is an alee of Chinese Pistache which will have stunning red fall color. The crushed blue shale drive provides a complimentary visual contrast and clearly denotes edges of driveway. Sonoma field stone entry pillars create a nice rustic gateway element.

Manuka GardensOur Deakin project’s oversized yellow feature pot has been the talk of the town. Our design brief was to create a Palm Springs inspired, low maintenance garden to compliment their mid-century modern influenced renovation. The addition of the yellow pot was the request of our clients and as you can see it’s a stunning focal point for their front garden.
Northwest Native Landscapes LLCDramatic plant textures, modern hardscaping and sharp angles enhanced this mid-century modern bungalow. Soft plants were chosen to contrast with the sharp angles of the pathways and hard edges of the MCM home, while providing all-season interest. Horizontal privacy screens wrap the front porch and create intimate garden spaces – some visible only from the street and some visible only from inside the home. The front yard is relatively small in size, but full of colorful texture.

For the courtyard entrance to the kitchen, Spiering & Co designed a herb and rose garden that reflected the arched windows of the orangery. The planting borders are edged with bricks and a row of clipped box, which contains a mixture of herbs, scented perennials and roses. As you walk through this herb and rose garden the scent is wonderful and the sunny spot ensures the herbs thrive.
