The brief

The owners wanted a yard they could actually live in — swimming, eating outside, and growing food — on a lot that had to hold all three without feeling crowded.

The design

Mediterranean-tile pool with raised spa
Water feature as the focal point from the house
Covered dining patio
Raised vegetable beds
Drought-tolerant planting throughout

How it was priced

Designed and rendered in full, with an honest construction budget attached, before anyone fell in love with a drawing. The owners knew what the yard would cost to build while there was still time to change it.

Design by SoCal LandCrafters. Construction hasn’t started yet.
