Talmadge (Canyon) Project - Before Construction 2

This project in Fairbanks Ranch transformed the backyard into a serene, Mediterranean-inspired retreat, perfect for relaxation and entertaining. The design maximized the stunning canyon views while incorporating inviting seating areas framed by evergreen, drought-tolerant plantings. Installed an Outdeco screen as a wall extension and as an artistic backdrop for a seating area.  A cozy circular seat wall, paired with a modern pergola at its center and a prefabricated fire feature beneath, creates an intimate gathering space. From the house, a newly installed meandering flagstone pathway enhances accessibility while seamlessly guiding visitors into the newly created spaces. The addition of the keystone wall helps mitigate site challenges such as wind exposure and fire risk, serving as a sturdy protective barrier.  Ultimately, the final design delivers a beautiful, functional, and low-maintenance outdoor sanctuary.

Overhead Structure

Installed a 12’ x 12’ prefabricated overhead structure (Wild hog Linux) for shade and architectural interest.

Circular Seat Wall

Designed a circular keystone retaining wall with integrated lighting that also acts as a seat wall.

Mediterranean-style Planting

Planting with perimeter enhancements, including an evergreen citrus tree and noise-buffering tree. Installed drought-tolerant, pollinator plants, including Westringia, Lavender, and Rosemary, for a cohesive theme and seasonal interest.

04.

OutDeco Screen

Enhanced privacy with a new fence and screening solutions like an Outdeco screen using redwood to frame it.

Flagstone Pathway

Flagstone pathway, landscape timber steps, and a small overhead structure for shade. Used ‘Desert Gold’ decomposed granite for pathways and small pebble ‘Salmon Bay Pebbles’ for seating area close to pool deck.
