BCL transformed this Gatewood Hills property into a modern, functional, and visually striking outdoor space. The basketball court adds a dynamic recreational space, while the fire pit area offers a cozy setting for gatherings. The sleek concrete pathway with stepper detailing enhances the contemporary feel, and the reading area provides a peaceful escape. Carefully chosen drought-tolerant and pollinator-friendly plants bring vibrancy and sustainability, while strategic lighting and irrigation ensure lasting beauty and efficiency. Every design element was curated to enhance the property’s great views, creating a cohesive and inviting landscape that blends style, function, and nature.

Key Design Elements

Half Basketball Court

Installed a concrete, half basketball court to integrate a recreational space with the new landscape.
