Construction Landscape, LLC.This once overgrown pool planting, now a clean easy to care for Palm and accent landscape. Landscape designed and installed by Construction Landscape, Jennifer Bevins 772-492-8382.
Davidson Design StudioA family garden where the premium was on an open kick about lawn for the children, while also providing amazing outdoor entertaining and relaxation spaces for the parents.
The feature element is the timber pergola complete with a custom made oculus to the sky. Timber decking to the pergola and the entertaining space at the rear of the home provide natural surfaces that perfectly complement the living garden elements.
Feature rockwork is thoughtfully located throughout the garden and placed to create interest and story. Large bluestone slab steppers through coarse ballast paths provide access around the home.
Custom designed and made metal screens are installed to the narrow side garden to provide a frame for climbing plants and offer views from within the home and privacy from neighbours.
Great American Landscapes
Our friends at Premier Ponds introduced us to the homeowner after they installed the water feature. The homeowner worked with designer Jane Luce with ‘The Art of Landscape’ to draw up the perfect plan. We installed steppingstones, boulders, decorative gravel, along with many specimen trees and shrubs provided by Susanna Farms. This Asian style garden is sure to transport our clients into the realm of ultimate relaxation.

Gardening AngelThis home had zero front landscape. The client requested low maintenance, succulents and rock elements. The area was not full sun, but had significant morning light and in fact had quite a bit of shade. This was a bit of a challenge to specify plants that could thrive in mixed light, but could handle direct sun for several hours a day. We incorporated some tough but lovely plants that require very little upkeep except to trim off spent/dying leaves to keep them looking clean. By using a rock edging and heavy mulching under the plants, we further reduced maintenance. We added landscape lighting to show off the garden at night and to provide subtle welcoming light to the entry.

This home featured an entry walkway that went through the carport, no defined exterior living spaces and overgrown and disorganized plantings.
Using clues from the simple West Coast Japanese look of the home a simple Japanese style garden with new fencing and custom screen design ensured an instant feeling of privacy and relaxation.
A busy roadway intruded on the limited yard space.
The garden area was redefined with fencing. The river-like walkway moves the visitor through an odd number of vistas of simple features of rock and moss and strategically placed trees and plants – features critical to a true Japanese garden.
The single front driveway and yard was overrun by vegetation, roots and large gangly trees.
Stamped concrete, simple block walls and small garden beds provided much needed parking and created interest in the streetscape.
Large cedars with tall trunks and heavily topped umbrellas were removed to provide light and to allow the construction of an outdoor living space that effectively double the living area.
Strategically placed walking stones, minimalist plantings and low maintenance yard eliminated the need for heavy watering while providing an oasis for its visitors.
Studio Grijalba | Conscious LandscapesA space to contemplate and experiece with all senses. Water as the center element, while the textures and volumes create a sense of depth and movement. A Japanese oasis in the middle of the city.
