Home to only a protected Live Oak tree before a newly constructed home was built, this backyard needed a serious uplift to bring it to the standard of the neighborhood that was planned to be built around it. The homeowner was hoping for a clean and crisp outdoor living space where they could relax with family and entertain their friends. We designed and planned a swimming pool with a perimeter overflow spa, a feature wall that is home to the water feature as well as a means to block the pool equipment behind it. The pool is flanked by two IPE tanning decks. On the opposite side of the larger of the two decks, a board formed concrete fire-pit joins the outdoor dining area that looks over a three hole putting green. Finally a conservatively sized outdoor kitchen sits just outside of the back of the home. This project is one of four adjoining backyards we designed and the first to be completed.

Besides an orange tree and a sauna, this backyard space in the Palm Haven area of Willow Glen didn’t have much going for it. The homeowners really wanted an interesting outdoor living space they could be excited about. On their wishlist were an outdoor covered space, a fire feature, raised planting area and two outdoor spaces that could become one. We introduced a space with a four color angled deck, a covered sitting area with angled pergola surrounded by sitting walls with plating space and a custom built fireplace. We turned up the volume on the funk as our clients allowed us to stretch our imagination with this project.
