Highland Park
A modern Highland Park home combines patio and lap swimming in a narrow space, where a sheet of water slips over a weir.
Winsor
An old decaying pool hogged this whole backyard, leaving little room for entertaining or play. Now a formal spa with a fountain creates a focal point at one end, opposite a fireplace and dining patio across a crisp new lawn.
Canyon Road
A new built Contemporary house in the Bluffview area of Dallas – we used many native and adaptive plants. Two of our favorite signature plantings are the Zoysia grass, left unmown, and Arizona Cypress ‘Carolina Sapphire” … A pretty stellar combination, don’t you think?
Ridgeview
A ledger stone fountain wall gives this pool area a spectacular focus–while muffling traffic with water music and screening views of the parking area and neighbor’s yard. The back yard, while overlooking a beautiful golf course, formerly ended a few feet from the back door. Raising the whole pool terrace up both provides privacy from golfers and creates a dramatic entertaining and living space.
Lindenwood
This narrow city lot is transformed into a series of garden rooms by a wall at the front building setback and structured plantings. Inside, a terrazzo urn fountain bubbles over, welcoming guests to a cool inner courtyard and a seating patio adjacent to the front entry. From the street, the visitor is enticed by glimpses of intimate niches up a broad crushed granite path.
