GARDEN DESIGN open , we were able to create zones for different functional outdoor spaces . So we were able to have areas for the pool , dining , lounge , and play .
The transformation of the old garage into a back guest house also guided the design , as we made sure the pool was accessible from this new space too . Which was an important feature for grandparents when they would come to stay .
For the outdoor dining area , we chose materials that emphasized simplicity and durability . Poured concrete created a sturdy , unfussy foundation for a teak dining table and playful green chairs that bring a touch of color to the space . We opted for olive trees and ficus to keep the landscaping simple and unfussy to also mirror the home ’ s style .
Our clients initially started working on the outdoor space themselves , but soon realized they needed our expertise to bring their ideas together . Sometimes , it ’ s those early challenges — figuring out where the pool should go or balancing open space with built features — that make the end result even more rewarding . Ultimately , the transformation turned a plain backyard into a beautiful and functional outdoor space that mirrors the architecture of the home . And it embraced the California indoor and outdoor living .
