Outside the courtyard, near the garage.
interior courtyard, sideview near front fence
Interior courtyard, sideview.
Downslope needs only low wall for separation and privacy
very low, metal (?) dividing/retaining wall for slight slope
look at fence (concrete/stone and slat) and horizontal wood wall ...
contrasts, with boulder, horizontal fence in bkgd
What about fences with gaps that have lighting hidden between the slats? Here it's just the supports we're seeing lit up.
Interesting ... if our garage door got wood panels on it to match any fence ...
gate made out of rebar
Rebar!
Rocking chairs on porch!
flat stone seating area with drainage provided by gaps with small river rocks
zoomed in on flat rocks on curve
I like the flat stones at angles - reminds me of the faulted rock here along the Hayward fault ... also allows undulating forms to be made with flat rocks.
Do it yourself bubble water fountain
another sideview of downslope front garden with mixed materials (brick, stone, pavers). I don't like the round pavers next to the brick breezeway
sideview, downslope front garden
downslope front garden
nice water feature/fall
stone border with flat capstone at sitting height
outdoor gas fireplace
very low stone wall lining steps
gate too high, but nice color. Like the more delicate slats on the top part.
boulders at side of stairs
seating area with wood screen/fence on side
entry
Low rock wall, topped by flat stone, pavers set in small rock.
Poured concrete, probably expensive. Not sure why we'd have them uphill from us, but I can see them here as a retaining wall or planter bed.
Low metal wall (rusted) with granite blocks.
Pretty!
Inside the fence near the sitting area?
Notice low granite wall in background
Boulders
Boulder combined with low, stacked rock wall.
Custom iron entry gate; too high, but I like the half-moon swoop.
