Covered Patio with built-in benches and climbing trellis's for plants and sun control

A good year for grapes in Colorado. Picture taken in mid July 2016. A relatively mild winter and cooler than usual Spring have helped to bring a bumper crop of grapes. The arbor serves as a cool respite in the summer and the bonus of fresh organic grapes in early fall.

Another fun Crestview project! This young couple wanted a back yard that reflected their bohemian-eclectic style and could add additional privacy from the ever climbing construction around them. A place for “hanging out and drinking coffee or beer in the backyard.” But what was most exciting, was the air stream they had just purchased and were in the process of restoring. With the end goal of using it as a guest home for family and friends, we were challenged with creating a space that was cohesive and connected this new living space with the rest of the yard. In the front we had another quark to fix. The sidewalk from their front door to the street suddenly stopped 5 feet from the curb, making a less than inviting entry for guests. So, creating a new usable entryway with additional curb appeal was a top priority. We managed the entertainment space by using modern poured concrete pad’s as a focal. A poured concrete wall serves as a bench as well as creates a visual anchor for the patio area. To soften the hard materials, small plantings of succulents and ground cover were planted in the spaces between the pads. For a backdrop, a custom Cedar Plank wall and trellis combined to soften the vertical space and add plenty of privacy. The trellis is anchored by a Coral Vine to add interest. Cafe style lighting was strung across the area create a sense of intimacy. We also completed the fence transition, and eliminated the grass areas that were not being utilized to reduce the amount of water waste in the landscape, and replaced these areas with beneficial plantings for the wildlife. Overall, this landscape was completed with a cohesive Austin-friendly design in mind for these busy young professionals! Caleb Kerr - http://www.calebkerr.com

The flower and mulch beds include evergreen plants, bark mulch ground cover, and vibrant colored flowers.

Northern Liberties Gem- Dyed Concrete to a grey color. We also used an acid to stain and discolor the newly poured concrete. After that we impregnated salt to eat into the concrete to create small holes. As a unique touch we embedded large nails into the concrete and used acid to create shadows of the nail marks into the concrete. The deck was built as a landing area stepping out of the door. In the rear of the yard, steel was mounted vertically to accept the grid and then filled with river rock. Steel trim was installed to the concrete to create the planter areas that border the concrete. Bamboo, trees, shrubs, and flowers were newly planted. The before pics show the previous yard condition. The yard was transformed into a stunning Asian themed work of art. Everything was executed perfectly by the installers who worked on this site. This customer now has a custom one of a kind backyard in Philadelphia, PA.

The wood frame is oil rubbed teak and the wire mesh is a combination of stainless steel and aluminum. The stone inserts are removable and can be changed and swapped seasonally or along with furniture upgrades or changes in personal taste.
