Falling Waters LandscapeBrett Hilton: Designed for a young family in Newport's Dover Shores community. The Indoors blend seamlessly with the exterior. A small pool with integrated sun-deck and automatic cover take up about 1/3 of the backyard. BBQ, Fire feature with built-in seating and modest turf area complete the space. Bold Cactus, succulents and sub-tropical foliage create a verdant and cooling effect while using very little water. In the front yard, Large Olives were brought in to obscure the master bedroom which sits 20' from the street. A masonry and white plaster rendered wall create a private entry courtyard dotted with Agaves, Echeverias, grasses and sun-grown Dracaena marginata.

Reveal Design LLCThis front yard had to also act as a clients back yard. The existing back yard is a ravine, so there is little room to functionally use it. This created a design element to create a sense of space/privacy while also allowing the Mid Century Modern Architecture to shine through. (and keep the feel of a front yard)
We used concrete walls to break up the rooms, and guide people into the front entrance. We added IPE details on the wall and planters to soften the concrete, and Ore Inc aluminum containers with a rust finish to frame the entrance. The Aspen trees break the horizontal plane and are lit up at night, further defining the front yard. All the trees are on color lights and have the ability to change at the click of a button for both holidays, and seasonal accents. The slate chip beds keep the bed lines clean and clearly define the planting ares versus the lawn areas. The walkway is one monolithic pour that mimics the look of large scale pavers, with the added function of smooth,set-in-place, concrete.
Northwest Native Landscapes LLCDramatic plant textures, modern hardscaping and sharp angles enhanced this mid-century modern bungalow. Soft plants were chosen to contrast with the sharp angles of the pathways and hard edges of the MCM home, while providing all-season interest. Horizontal privacy screens wrap the front porch and create intimate garden spaces – some visible only from the street and some visible only from inside the home. The front yard is relatively small in size, but full of colorful texture.
