Gamble
This home was a blank slate but with a physical challenge - the yard had a big elevation change in it. We addressed that by adding steps and designing a pool that accommodated the elevation change. Also of note:
We installed a raised spa with a tiled wet wall in front
Put in steps off the back of the spa leading to a lounging area
Created raised stucco planters around the house to cover the foundation with landscaping
Replaced an existing fence with a horizontal privacy fence and gate
Installed new landscaping around the pool area
Lighting for the trees in the yard and steps - both on an automated timer
The front of the house received upgraded landscaping
We also installed a limestone parking pad and a walkway from the driveway to the arched entryway
Built an alcoved privacy wall with benches for the entryway
