COURTYARDS

 Here are some of my courtyard projects:

PRIVATE FRONT YARD PATIO

Part of this project was to create a cozy and inviting entry. In Arizona, there is a time of year where each side of a home is a good place to be. In this case, although west facing, which is hot on a summer afternoon, is the perfect place to be in the morning hours. A patio is behind the new privacy wall, and the existing fountain was moved to add interest against the blank wall opposite the patio, along with unique containers filled with desert succulents.

INTIMATE PATIO

The homeowner felt the existing landscaping had outgrown its attractiveness, and wanted to go for a low maintenance and desert friendly design instead. The entrance also lacked any aesthetic appeal, which they wanted to address. They also wanted a small seating area inside the patio wall.

GARDEN ART

Plants are nice, but adding garden art is fun!
