After moving into a mid-century ranch home on Spokane's South Hill, these homeowners gave the tired landscape a dramatic makeover. The aging asphalt driveway was replaced by precast concrete pavers that coordinate with a new walkway of sandwashed concrete pads. A pared-down front lawn reduces the overall water use of the landscape, while sculptural boulders add character. A small flagstone patio creates a spot to enjoy the outdoors in the courtyard-like area between the house and the towering ponderosa pines. The backyard received a similar update, with a new garden area, water feature, and paver patio anchoring the updated space.

Eichler in Marinwood - At the larger scale of the property existed a desire to soften and deepen the engagement between the house and the street frontage. As such, the landscaping palette consists of textures chosen for subtlety and granularity. Spaces are layered by way of planting, diaphanous fencing and lighting. The interior engages the front of the house by the insertion of a floor to ceiling glazing at the dining room. Jog-in path from street to house maintains a sense of privacy and sequential unveiling of interior/private spaces. This non-atrium model is invested with the best aspects of the iconic eichler configuration without compromise to the sense of order and orientation. photo: scott hargis

This Sweet 100 Tomato is so prolific I am having a hard time containing its enthusiasm with numerous support systems. Cherry tomatoes are packed with flavor and have more sugar content than larger size tomatoes. It is impossible not to pick one and eat it while I am working. :-)

Photo by Spiering & Co For the courtyard entrance to the kitchen, Spiering & Co designed a herb and rose garden that reflected the arched windows of the orangery. The planting borders are edged with bricks and a row of clipped box, which contains a mixture of herbs, scented perennials and roses. As you walk through this herb and rose garden the scent is wonderful and the sunny spot ensures the herbs thrive.

Close up of Dymondia margaretae ("Silver Carpet"), growing in flagstone gaps. We set the stones at roughly 2.5" apart and added an amended soil to the final 2" between the stones. Plugs were installed on roughly 5-6" centers. 98% filled in after 5 months. Irrigated with Hunter MP rotators at 30 minutes every 10 days. We're now backing it off since they've become established.

Permaculture Orchard, Natick MA 3-1/2 months old. Complete regenerating ecosystem of food production. Also known as a "food forest" meaning in the example of mother nature there is no tilling, weeding is minimal to none as plantings are intentionally condensed to provide nutrients and weed control to each other. Since the industrial revolution monoculture taught us to grow one massive crop for profit. Mother nature rules as there is minimal maintenance after 5-6 years of establishing the succession plantings. Things take time but with a good investment of your time and effort upfront will give you returns for the lifetime of the site as all perennial fruit,vegetable, and medicinal plants that require no fertilizers or pesticides.
