Mark S. Garff, Landscape ArchitectAlready partially enclosed by an ipe fence and concrete wall, our client had a vision of an outdoor courtyard for entertaining on warm summer evenings since the space would be shaded by the house in the afternoon. He imagined the space with a water feature, lighting and paving surrounded by plants.
With our marching orders in place, we drew up a schematic plan quickly and met to review two options for the space. These options quickly coalesced and combined into a single vision for the space. A thick, 60” tall concrete wall would enclose the opening to the street – creating privacy and security, and making a bold statement. We knew the gate had to be interesting enough to stand up to the large concrete walls on either side, so we designed and had custom fabricated by Dennis Schleder (www.dennisschleder.com) a beautiful, visually dynamic metal gate.
Other touches include drought tolerant planting, bluestone paving with pebble accents, crushed granite paving, LED accent lighting, and outdoor furniture. Both existing trees were retained and are thriving with their new soil.

Landscaping By Ben Harris Gardens
Genus Landscape ArchitectsReplanting of an existing 1960s Beaumaris garden. This space receives full afternoon sun and a planting palette of sun-loving species was required. The mid-century style and landscapes of Palm Springs were used as inspiration. Colourful exotics combined with local native plants create an attractive and sustainable garden.

Arroyo Seco ConstructionWater features and simple plant collections featuring specimen plants maximize small side yards to create calm transition spaces.
LandCrafters, LLCAn entry pad of Rustic Valders limestone paving is the only outside entrance to the side courtyard. The masonry pillar reflects the nearby chimney to a tee - including Colorado flagstone small accents. An overhanging cut Eden stone cap provides coverage for an under-ledge LED light. The courtyard Colorado flagstone patio can be see in the back with Valders planking serving as mow strips between the bed and lawn.
Bosler Earth DesignDesigner’s Notes:
Define the design style to be perceived from the street with a contemporary wood gate, pots and a crisp white wall.
