Natural stone staircase to the lower patio
A small outdoor living space transformed into an elaborate, relaxing oasis.
Create a colorful garden hideaway
An abundance of plants fill up space around the staircase and patio to create a private haven for these homeowners. With a wide range of tall greenery, pops of color and hearty annuals this backyard hideaway is a gardener dream.
Gather around a stunning outdoor fireplace
The focal point of this design is the custom-made fireplace and built-in seating bench both of which were constructed onsite using white limestone specially ordered from Texas. The stark white provides dramatic contrast to the patio and pergola. The 42-inch firebox allows homeowners to easily keep the space comfortable on chilly evenings.
A stunning grand staircase leads the way
Working with the natural sharp 7-foot drop in the backyard we designed an elegant 30-foot-long natural stone staircase that meanders down to the lower level patio. Large intermediate landings soften the impact of the otherwise steep, rigid staircase and stone cut treads on the steps provide safety after dark.
Explore the fine details
Retaining walls. To hold up the hillside, retaining walls were built into the staircase, adding dramatic effect to the landscape architecture.
A plethora of plants. Varieties including phlox, thyme, sedum, astilbe, echinacea, hydrangeas, and scotch moss were added to surround the patio and create privacy.
Designed for safety. More than 40 different accent and decorative spotlights were installed to improve safety and security around this magnificent home.
“We interviewed numerous landscape design firms, but ultimately chose Landscapes by Terra because they were the only ones who clearly understood our vision, were willing and able to deliver on custom and unique features, and executed a final product that far exceeded what we thought was possible.”
