Our work

Backyards designed, built and cared for by one team

Pools, hardscape, planting and outdoor living, each one planned as part of the whole backyard rather than as a separate job.

Recent pool and landscape work

Six kinds of work, and the thread that runs through all of them. A patio and lounge set into the lawn so the hardscape and the planting read as one design. A desert garden that uses a fraction of the water a lawn would and still feels lush. Terraced walls that turn a slope into planting beds and a view. A custom pool caught mid build, because what is under the finish decides how long it lasts in a 100 degree summer. A stone path that ties a courtyard together. And a pool and spa set into a hillside lot.

None of these were built as stand-alone pieces. The pool placement, the deck, the retaining, the planting and the lighting were worked out together, which is the reason they look finished rather than assembled. Ask us for references on a job like yours and we will put you in touch.

Every project starts the same way: a walk of the property, a conversation about how you want to use the space, and a design that shows the pool, the hardscape and the planting together before anything is built. If you have a backyard in mind that looks like one of these, or nothing like any of them, that first visit is where we work out what your lot is actually asking for and what it will take to get there.
