A refined material palette modernizes this conventional 60′s ranch-home’s yard. Repetition of materials like stone, ipe and concrete combine beautifully to form a bold and contemporary garden. Layered walls perform double duty as both sculpture and a way to define gathering spaces. Contrasting leaf textures and hues harmonize with the hardscape, and plant masses add their colorful statement to the canvas. Michele Lee Willson Photography

100ft garden landscaped by us with artificial grass, a sunken trampoline and composite decking. Some real hedging and trees create great focal points. The glass rooflights in the grass provide incredible light to an under garden basement below.
