Antique teak gates are a beautiful setting for the private courtyard which contains a quatrefoil shaped fountain and koi pond. Some of the detail trim is hand painted tile, authentic adobe brick, carved cantera stone and terra cota tile. Beach pebbles were used to soften the transition between the hardscaping and the planters. Designed & built by Beringer Fine Homes

Nature's Realm

A luxurious Mediterranean house and property with Tuscan influences featuring majestic Live Oak trees, detailed travertine paving, expansive lawns and lush gardens. Designed and built by Harold Leidner Landscape Architects. House construction by Bob Thompson Homes.

This garden was an all lawn front yard with a straight path to the front door and a driveway.The new garden is water-wise, colorful, and has a very low need for maintenance. Beautiful paving materials, artful arbors, large boulders, and very drought-tolerant plants come together to delight the owners with their beauty, setting a serene and relaxing mood and inviting them onto their front porch.
