The steep site unveils rich garden vignettes elegantly integrated through carefully crafted stone walls, stone paths, and abundant plantings. The stepping stone path sweeps down around the house changing scenes from a sunny rose garden to a shady glen, and grounds the visitor at bluestone terrace patios off the main living areas, which can be accessed from the interior through a collection of French doors. This Piedmont residence received the 2009 Design Award as the Best Remodel and Landscape.

The rock bands traversing the sloped drive do more than direct rainfall into the garden where it can fuel growth and resilience. They offer shallow, fresh water for pollinators and birds. On rainy days, they dance with feathered friends.

Brad’s vision for Black Oak Mountain Vineyards was to cultivate a sustainable, organic landscape that guests and visitors would be nurtured by. You’ll get a ‘feeling’ when you visit you won’t know quite what it is, but you won’t want to leave. Our team worked with Brad to see his vision come to life making Black Oak Mountain Vineyards a Couples Choice award winner! Relatively new, and pristine, with unusual desert mountain landscaping and architecture. We integrated an arid desertscape into the natural setting around this 150 acre estate property designing several ceremony sites and photo oportunities to capture the best moments of your life!

Dry river-esque bands of rock in the driveway direct stormwater into planted spaces. This band, at the end of the drive, directs water into bright green Dwarf Coyote Bush.

We designed this sprawling landscape at our Spanish Revival style project in Rancho Santa Fe to reflect our clients' vision of a colorful planting palette to compliment the custom ceramic tile mosaics, hand made iron work, stone and tile paths and patios, and the stucco fire pit and walls. All of these features were designed and installed by Gravel To Gold, Inc.
