This backyard remodel expanded a claustrophobic patio, embraced an existing pool and spa, and added multiple living spaces throughout. From the covered outdoor kitchen & dining room to the firepit that the homeowners use nearly every night as they watch the Arizona sunset, this yard truly went from one of Tucson's forgotten yards to one of Tucson's embraced landscapes.

One-of-a-kind and other very rare plants are around every corner. The view from any angle offers something new and interesting. The property is a constant work in progress as planting beds and landscape installations are in constant ebb and flow.

Round rock and simple plantings that hide the septic field, emphasize the contemporary nature of the architecture. A blue stone walkway connects the parking to the street. Simplicity was emphasized to focus attention to the garden across the street. Drought resistant and salt friendly plantings were used throughout.

Within this garden we wanted to create a space which was not only on numerous levels, but also had various points of interest. This garden is on a slope, but is also very wide. Firstly, we broke up the space by using rustic sleepers to create several raised beds,as well as steps which lead to differennt zones. This helps to give the garden a more traditional, country edge. The sleepers were also used to create a winding path through out the garden, marrying together the various areas. The path leads up to the impressive sunburst pergola and circular stone patio. This is the perfect spot to view the whole garden. At the other end of the garden another pergola sits amougnst a bustling flower bed, and will be used to train vining flowers. Along the back wall of the garden a raised bed is home to a stunning display of wildflower. This plot is not only a fabulous riot of colour and full of rustic charm, but it also attracts a whole host of insects and animals. While wildflowers looks great they are also very low maintenance. Mixed gravel has been used to create a variety of texture. This surface is intermittently dotted with colour with lemon thyme, red hot pokers and foxgloves. Stone has been used to create a warm and welcoming patio area. Flower beds at the front of the garden can be used for veg and other leafy plants. Overall we have created a country style with a very contemporary twist through the use of gravel, modern shape and structural landscaping.

With the driveway dominating the front of the home, we wanted to improve the landscaping on both sides. A linear group of river birch highlight the right side of the front yard with a mosaic of multiple varieties of carex act as groundcover. Aqua Blue granite boulders and beach pebble panels add texture. Renn Kuhnen Photography

This compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis.
