This residence in Black Mountain Ranch was transformed into a functional and stylish outdoor retreat with a California coastal design. A raised composite deck now features a spa and lounge area, providing the perfect retreat for both daytime enjoyment and evening relaxation. An open trellis-style pergola with privacy panels provides shade while seamlessly blending with the existing landscape features. Synthetic turf creates a dedicated play area, while decomposed granite pathways enhance usability in secondary spaces mainly in the side yards. Waterwise Mediterranean-style planting softens the landscape, with perimeter screening and colorful potted plants adding vibrancy. Raised redwood planter beds offer a productive garden space, and new landscape lighting enhances the patio’s ambiance in the evening. Thoughtful integration of new elements ensures a cohesive design that enhances, rather than overpowering the existing landscape, creating a harmonious and inviting outdoor space.
