Landscape Ideas from Me

A little of everything

Recently I was asked to do a design that had a touch of everything in it...


The property owner had made requests for:

• a pool with a water feature
  
• enough patio space to allow for a chiminea and sun lounge chairs
  
• deck space for dinning and BBQ area
• a covered hot tub space
• the cabana house with a small bar area incorporated in it
• privacy
• grass or lawn space to allow for kids to play and possibly have an ice rink in winter
• storage areas
• and last but not least....gardens!!!

When presented with these requests...it can sometimes seem like a tall order for smaller yards but the idea of a landscape design is to make things fit and organize the space so it fits well! The particular drawing shown above displays a slightly larger than normal typical sub-division lot which allowed for me to fit everything in that the customer had on their wish list! I was able to do it in a way that kept things in balance in terms of where things were located.

The end result.... a cool looking backyard that will provide hours of entertainment that would extend into the winter months with the addition of the skating rink, the chiminea spot and the hot tub!!!
