This tiny back yard had a drainage problem that caused water to pool between the hot tub and the leyland cypress hedge. We could not regrade to drain the water to the front yard without killing trees. The owner, who traveled a lot, did not want a pump that might fail while she was out of town. Our solution was to create a " rain garden " a.k.a. " bioswale " ... a place where water would collect then slowly percolate into the subsoil. A simple explanation would be that we excavated the area deeper then filled it with gravel and plants. In actuality, everything was very carefully planned including the choice of plant material so that we had plants that could survive the conditions varying from very wet to sometimes dry. The client loved that the plants chosen were native, sustainable, flowering and also brought in lots of song birds, hummingbirds and butterflies to enliven the garden. This solution has been proven thru 8 years of unpredictable Atlanta weather. Photographer: Danna Cain, Home & Garden Design, Inc.

In the wide, side return area of this garden we planted a flat top tree to create a courtyard feel. This creates a pretty canopy which is covered in fairy lights at night. We also added a wide thin storage unit with double doors in this area, to provide some easily accessible storage. This was painted in the same dark grey as the fence and gate to help it blend into the background.

This compact space allows for a lot of outdoor living options, without feeling too cramped. The homeowners really wanted a pool and spa, but didn't believe their yard was big enough. Not only did they get both by incorporating a spool, they also have plenty of room for seating and dining, lush landscaping, and a lawn where their child and dogs can play! Photo by Craig O'Neal

Mr. and Mrs. Eades, the owners of this Chicago home, were inspired to build a Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen because of their love of cooking. “The grill became the center point for doing our outdoor kitchen,” Mr. Eades noted. After working long days, Mr. Eades and his wife, prefer to experiment with new recipes in the comfort of their own home. The Hybrid Fire Grill is the focal point of this compact outdoor kitchen. Weather-tight cabinetry was built into the masonry for storage, and an Artisan Fire Pizza Oven sits atop the countertop and allows the Eades’ to cook restaurant quality Neapolitan style pizzas in their own backyard.
