CORNER COURTYARD night
CORNER COURTYARD Night Mode A Small Courtyard That Goes Well Beyond Cute While many of our projects involve large open spaces, we love when we get a project that is the opposite. A Cozy Challenge Small spaces can be very difficult to design for a number of reasons, including minimum requirements for pathways, furniture, living spaces and plant material. It is also easy to make these small spaces too visually busy or “tight,” giving the space a claustrophobic feel. An Entertainment Oasis We designed new raised planters which tie into a cast stone fountain along with individual entertainment spaces surrounding a tiled fireplace and topiary trees. An outdoor kitchen was created to provide an area to entertain and serve guests. Magnificent Magnolias One of the most unique features of this courtyard was the use of espalier magnolia trees. Espalier is a tree training technique that involves growing trees flat along a wall using cables. This was originally used in monasteries to grow fruit trees in small spaces. In this case, we used them to break up the large expanses of wall and create a fully lush experience.

(UP)HILL COUNTRY night
(UP)HILL COUNTRY Night Mode When We Renovate, We Elevate The existing landscape was poorly designed and installed, leading to a host of maintenance and aesthetic issues. We were asked by the client to take his builder-grade landscape in the West Austin area and make it “incredible.” That we did. Design-Build: Land We elevated the aesthetic with completely new landscape planting areas to new stone walkways and patio spaces. A circular fire pit area combines the modern/contemporary architectural style with the Texas Hill Country. Lastly, we cleaned and improved bed areas along the pool. Design-Build: Water We renovated a failing stream bed water feature by importing large limestone boulders, rebuilding the hydraulics, adjusting the liner and providing border plantings We also completely renovated the irrigation system and rebuilt drainage systems to reduce pooling and erosion issues. Design-Build: Light We designed and installed an extensive lighting system, using portions of the existing lighting infrastructure.
