Our clients on this project were inspired by their travels to Asia and wanted to mimic this aesthetic at their DC property. We designed a water feature that effectively masks adjacent traffic noise and maintains a small footprint.

A simple, yet striking fountain was created by building a mosaic wall with a single, large sheet-flow scupper. The simple design and clean lines of this slightly raised pool with limestone coping, sundeck and mosaic fountain and steps create a serene environment that is evocative of a high-end resort.

We were asked to create something really special for one of our most admired clients. This home has been a labor of love for both of us as we finally made it exactly what she wanted it to be. After many concept ideas we landed on a design that is stunning! All of the elements on her wish list are incorporated in this challenging, multi-level landscape: A front yard to match the modern traditional-style home while creating privacy from the street; a side yard that proudly connects the front and back; and a lower level with plantings in lush greens, whites, purples and pinks and plentiful lawn space for kids and dogs. Her outdoor living space includes an outdoor kitchen with bar, outdoor living room with fireplace, dining patio, a bedroom-adjacent lounging patio with modern fountain, enclosed vegetable garden, rose garden walk with European-style fountain and meditation bench, and a fire pit with sitting area on the upper level to take in the panoramic views of the sunset over the wooded ridge. Outdoor lighting brings it alive at night, and for parties you can’t beat the killer sound system!

The clients request was to have a "California" feel in Hunting Valley, OH. The newly designed Cabana in combination with the modern design swimming pool accomplished this. The acrylic hot tub with modern pool stepping stones gave the client the clean lines and modern feel. Overlooking this beautiful pool is a "Faux Swing Tree". This steel and fiberglass tree was shipped in pieces and constructed on site by our team. This project gives our client beauty at every angle.


This family’s second home was designed to reflect their love of the beach and easy weekend living. Low maintenance materials were used so their time here could be focused on fun and not on worrying about or caring for high maintenance elements.

Our client was building a new house on 2.5 acres in Northern Montgomery County, Maryland and contacted our company to design an overall master plan for the entire property. Their design requests included a custom naturalistic swimming pool with spa and significant boulder water feature. Extensive pool patio for entertaining 50-60 people comfortably, a custom storage area for pool accessories to be an extension of their new home. Elevated composite deck with curved rails, wide stairs, outdoor lighting, raised fire pit, new Techobloc paver entrance walkway. And to complete the master plan, a full landscape planting.
