Custom wall cut out of Carmel stone with iron gate, pavers and landscaping

This project was so fun to design and install on their farmhouse style residence! We love transforming these beautiful outdoor spaces to an area they can actually use and enjoy at night! No worries about security either, this house is fully lit! From grand entrances and leading pathways to beautiful gardens and amazing pools, we can illuminate the most appealing features of your home. We offer expert installation of quality low voltage LED outdoor lighting, which provides added safety and beauty to any structure.

This very social couple were tying the knot and looking to create a space to host their friends and community, while also adding much needed living space to their 900 square foot cottage. The couple had a strong emphasis on growing edible and medicinal plants. With many friends from a community garden project they were involved in and years of learning about permaculture, they wanted to incorporate many of the elements that the permaculture movement advocates for. We came up with a California native and edible garden that incorporates three composting systems, a gray water system, rain water harvesting, a cob pizza oven, and outdoor kitchen. A majority of the materials incorporated into the hardscape were found on site or salvaged within 20-mile of the property. The garden also had amenities like an outhouse and shower for guests they would put up in the converted garage. Coming into this project there was and An old clawfoot bathtub on site was used as a worm composting bin, and for no other reason than the cuteness factor, the bath tub composter had to stay. Added to that was a compost tumbler, and last but not least we erected an outhouse with a composting toilet system (The Nature's Head Composting Toilet). We developed a gray water system incorporating the water that came out of the washing machine and from the outdoor shower to help water bananas, gingers, and canailles. All the down spouts coming off the roof were sent into depressions in the front yard. The depressions were planted with carex grass, which can withstand, and even thrive on, submersion in water that rain events bring to the swaled-out area. Aesthetically, carex reads as a lawn space in keeping with the cottage feeling of the home. As with any full-fledged permaculture garden, an element of natural building needed to be incorporated. So, the heart and hearth of the garden is a cob pizza oven going into an outdoor kitchen with a built-in bench. Cob is a natural building technique that involves sculpting a mixture of sand, soil, and straw around an internal structure. In this case, the internal structure is comprised of an old built-in brick incinerator, and rubble collected on site. Besides using the collected rubble as a base for the cob structure, other salvaged elements comprise major features of the project: the front fence was reconstructed from the preexisting fence; a majority of the stone edging was created by stones found while clearing the landscape in preparation for construction; the arbor was constructed from old wash line poles found on site; broken bricks pulled from another project were mixed with concrete and cast into vegetable beds, creating durable insulated planters while reducing the amount of concrete used ( and they also just have a unique effect); pathways and patio areas were laid using concrete broken out of the driveway and previous pathways. (When a little more broken concrete was needed, we busted out an old pad at another project a few blocks away.) Far from a perfectly polished garden, this landscape now serves as a lush and inviting space for my clients, their friends and family to gather and enjoy each other’s company. Days after construction was finished the couple hosted their wedding reception in the garden—everyone danced, drank and celebrated, christening the garden and the union!

Wrought fencing, a hallmark of Spanish Colonial design, would provide little privacy from the street. Now established trees are joined by California Lilac and Coffeeberry Ito give the meadow a secret garden feel.

A traditional garden to compliment a 'Georgian' style of architecture. The client wanted lush, green planting to the front to provide year-round-interest. At the back of the house is an indoor gym. Views out towards the garden were important to the client. Creating linear beds of cloud box planting with multi-stems helped frame the view towards the lawn. The Malus 'Evereste' multi-stem trees provide seasonal interest throughout spring, summer and autumn.

This job involved creating a small platform and stairs to access the garden from the kitchen. The brushed stainless steel compliments the red brick of the Victorian house to add a modern twist to the side of the house.

木製のウッドゲートは痛みずらいハードウッドを使い BBQが出来るコンロと水を汲んだり手が洗える 流し台も付けました。 舗装は固まる砂利（ナルスワロ）を使い、ナチュラルですが美しい仕上がりになっています。

Неоклассический особняк органично вписывается в окружение единых по стилю домов, что явно является преимуществом поселка. Главный дом был реконструирован. При въезде был выстроен дом для персонала с дополнительным гаражом и навесом для машин. В основу проекта, отталкиваясь от стиля, мы взяли регулярность конструктивных элементов – дорожек и площадок, поддержанных аллеей из боярышника и кессонными клумбы из стриженного кустарника. Мягкость и природность форм цветников и массивов кустарника сглаживают угловатость мощения, вносят в сад динамичность и живописность. Просторные веранды и площадка для приема гостей создают тесную связь дома с садом. А необходимую приватность в этой зоне мы создаем плотными многоярусными кулисами, скрывающими границы пышным зеленый фоном, гармонично связанным с соседними участками. Существующие поселковые посадки были максимально адаптированы в новый дизайн. Перед началом работ были пересажены шесть взрослых деревьев. Массивы из кизильника от переднего забора из зоны стройки перенесены за дом и вписаны в созданную геометрию.. В ассортименте используем много кустарников, высаженных группами и большими мономассивами. Цветущие в течение сезона гортензии, шиповники, сирени, спиреи оттеняются спокойной зеленью хвойных, кизильника, дерена. В качестве цветного фона, созвучного колористике дома - красно-бурая листва пузыреплодника, черемухи, яблони и клена Кримсон Кинг. В ассортименте многолетников поддержана тема английского сада.

L'éventail de l'offre Gypass est un atout pour l'architecte, car il limite les interlocuteurs, mais surtout parce qu'il permet de coordonner produits et accessoires de finition pour obtenir une parfaite unité d'aspect.

This beautiful property is located in the hills above of Montecito with 360 degree of views onto the Channel Islands and the surrounding mountains. Inspired by the Japanese landscape design principal of the borrowed landscape the gardens on this property serves as a kind of picture frame from which to view the natural beauty of its surroundings. This 15-year-old costume-built home was crafted with all the style and workmanship ship found in Villa or Château in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, the garden design was not as well thought out as the house was. Most of this property receives baking sun, drying winds and is in an extremely high fire danger area. Do to these factors many of the plants on the property were unsuitable for their location. The original planting scheme was also lifeless and colorless. Poor landscape maintenance had left many of the plants on the property sick and dying. We came in to revive this landscape, breathing new life into it. Creating a drought tolerant and fire wise landscape was of utmost importance to these clients. Staying true to the more formal landscape styles found in Southern Europe we also want to create an opportunity to design seamlessly blend with its natural surroundings. We did that by incorporating a lot of California native plants. This vast property also contains an avocado orchard and a vineyard. By adding California native plants the property is inviting in native birds and insects that help keep pollinate the orchard and vineyard and keep pest problems at bay. Because these clients enjoy harvesting from their land we added elements of edible landscaping to this project. We filled pottery and planter beds with fruit trees, culinary and medicinal herbs as well as flowers that can be used in cut flower arrangements. Lastly, we went through carefully pruning diseased plants, treating pest problems an improving the soil. Now the landscape is not only more beautiful it is more protected against fire, is more water wise and integrate into its surrounds with a wholistic approach.
