GO Designs Inc.

Contemporary Surprise, Complete Outdoor Living! Our client downsized into their new home and was looking to complete their outdoor space that was consistent with their lifestyle and desired a place to relax and entertain. Dining alfresco, reading, drinking & dancing is what we felt would meeting our clients needs. Shade for the outdoor kitchen, a sail shade for dining and an open firepit for anything and everything. Just the right amount of greenery & touch of flowers cozy up the outdoor space. At night the outdoor lighting comes on and changes the mood to party and go dancing but also allows for one on one intimate nights under the stars with the glow & warmth of fire!

Southwest to Contemporary

TruCare Home Improvement

Yes! It can be done. You can have a completely SW home and yet still have a contemporary back or front yard. We proved it on this project. We added colored concrete, steel planters, irrigation, lighting, steel cabling, stairs, customer railing, artificial grass, IPE (Brazilian Hardwood), drainage, flower beds etc.

Native Edge Landscape

These homeowners were looking to up their hosting game by modernizing their property to create the ultimate entertainment space. A custom outdoor kitchen was added with a top of the line Delta Heat grill and a special nook for a Big Green Egg. Flagstone was added to create asymmetrical walkways throughout the yard that extended into a ring around the fire pit. Four rectangular trellises were added along the fence and shed, with an all metal pergola located at the back of the pool. This unique structure immediately draws the eye and adds a playful, artistic element to the rest of the space. The use of various sized rocks, gravel, and flagstone give a rough texture that creates a symbiosis with the metalwork. Silver Falls Dichondra creates a beautiful contrast to the rocks and can be found all over the property along with various other grasses, ferns, and agave. A large area of gravel rests on the side of the house, giving the client room to park a recreational vehicle. In front, a privacy fence was added along one of the property lines, leading into a drought resistant, eco-friendly section of yard. This fence, coupled with a giant boulder, doubles as a safety precaution in case drivers miss the turn and run into their lawn. This updated landscaping adds an effortless flow for guests to move from the front yard to the back while creating a very open, welcoming feel to all who enter.

Birdwatcher's Sanctuary in Poway

John Beaudry Landscape Design

This property was covered with pink rock when our client called us. In an effort to be gentle on the environment, and to save money, the client took our suggestion to work with what they had by incorporating more contrasting rock to bring the property together in a cohesive design. The clients are active birders and wanted to grow their own food including vegetables and fruits. We worked with interior designer, Nikki Klugh, to select gorgeous furniture to compliment the design.
