John likes the overhang on bbq idea so there is some open space

Q

Real Flame f/p

Q

Photo

Find the bench a little heavy and really don't like the stucco on the bbq

Q

Photo

Concrete is board formed - see, no back looks nice

Q

Photo
Photo

I love this yard

Q

Photo

Worried it will look like this

Q

Photo

Can't see tiles but nice color of pool

Q

Photo

I like the grasses

Q

Photo

Nice wood concrete bench combo

Q

Photo

Image of lighter coping (Valders Wisconsin Limestone) with some contrasting natural stone.

Q

Photo

Is this a little too busy?

Q

Photo

I just secretly wish I lived here

Q

Photo

Not nice enough

Q

Photo

What I want to make sure it doesn't look like - the lines on the concrete pavers are irritating

Q

Photo

Nice uniform paving look

Q

Photo

interesting lattice style. Also like the ORCO pavers. Although design shows 24x24, Kate seems to prefer 18x36 - thoughts?

Q

Photo

John likes this - Kate finds it a bit too white

Q

Photo

Same as prior pool shot. Kate definitely doesn't like the quartz on benches or fire feature (a little too Miami to do white everywhere, no?)

Q

Photo

modern rectangular firepit

Q

Photo

a bit too rustic, but nice combination of shapes, fireplace is a bit too rough & not crisp enough.

Q

Photo

plantings are nice. interesting wood wall that could be combined with lattice.

Q

Photo

nice mixture of grass and concrete and transition gravel/pebble. modern light & poured concrete

Q

Photo
Photo

like the pool fountains, and good example of hard/soft mix

Q

Photo

overall nice modern design with square corners and materials

Q

Photo

interesting transitions

Q

Photo

interesting fireplace and water feature and plantings as transitions. like the wood elements to warm it

Q

Photo

like the open bar counter

Q

Photo

wall for privacy? gravel/succulents

Q

Photo

BAD - too busy

Q

Photo

nice planters on left. Like the slated wood. Cool lights.

Q

Photo

John likes this one (Kate likes the house). Rectangular fire feature, stumps somewhat interesting. Hardscape too busy.

Q

Photo

Nice bench (wood and concrete combination) and nice linear fire box

Q

Photo

nice and clean, but want a rectangular gas bbq and likely concrete top

Q

Photo

don't like the wood or depth,

Q

Photo

concrete bar, more square minimalist design. I detest the hardscape

Q

Photo

concrete bar top

Q

Photo

white is nice and clean.

Q

Photo

NOT - this is what we don't want. no stucco, too busy. Makes Kate want to vom

Q

Photo

nice color in the plantings/flowers

Q

Photo

nice san diego plants (John loves him some agave and aloe)

Q

Photo

plantings that could be part of the refreshed front yard plantings

Q

Photo

nice grasses with gravel/stone

Q

Photo

nice planter, rocks, concrete - succulents look a little sad

Q

Photo

interesting for updated front yard plantings/stones

Q

Photo

nice mixture of gravel walkway and plantings

Q

Photo

nice mixture of pavers, plantings, stones

Q

Photo

good mix of grasses with steps and planters with gravel

Q

Photo

nice mixture of plantings, gravel, concrete

Q

Photo

nice lighting, pavers/gravel

Q

Photo

planters/wall/gravel works well
