What a neat property! When having a busy schedule, teaching and traveling, you don’t have much time to maintain the worlds most immaculate gardens. These clients have always been partial to the Asian-influenced design elements. With having most of the statuary already existing from their travels and collections, we just needed a design with the correct use of space. By removing a large portion of turf, adding rock gardens, and basing our flow off of the fung-shu design principles, we were able to create the low maintenance, xerioscaped gardens these clients have always wanted!

With the up-and-coming neighborhood of Crestview changing daily, these clients wanted to finish off their remodel by updating their landscape to fit their style, and the modernized neighborhood. With their home already having some modern/contemporary lines and design elements, it was easy to expanded and shadow that within the landscape. By creating predominate features like these metal box planters, we needed to keep the plant pallet simple, and chic. We used a pallet of very architectural plants, low maintenance native plants, and topped it off with a top dress of Decomposed Granite for a pop of color and sense of durability.Read More »Crestview
