<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's time to get a little updated on our Before and Afters'. So here is the latest project worked on and completed in Mountain View. A repeating theme is eliminating unused lawns and replacing them with usable outdoor space for entertaining and outdoor time. These homeowners wanted lots of space to entertain not only their family and friends but their teenage son's friends. The fire pit is a big hit with the boys! I was brought in as the house was undergoing a large re-model inside and out. Here are some before and after shots. The homeowner is an avid jelly maker and we used lots of edibles in this garden including Fig, Apples, Kumquat, and Pineapple Guava. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Before: Here's what was going on when I arrived, lots of changes going on inside and out.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After: A new courtyard entry. This is still work in progress as the driveway is next to be colored with a great new concrete stain that will cover the red and blend with the new grey green color scheme. The plantings have been in for almost six months now and they are starting to fill in nicely. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After: An outdoor kitchen for an avid cook and fire pit for after dinner lounging. We added extra seating in the form of seat walls for the large parties these home owners like to have. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Before: the trex deck was taking up too much space without having enough room to really be a comfortable sitting area. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After: We used IPE wood to aid in the transition from the house to the new larger pool deck that can be used for additional seating and dinning. </span></div>

Our plans are drawn on a CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) program called Vectorworks Landmark that was designed specifically for Landscape Design. Drawing plans with a CAD program allows us to make changes quickly & easily, mail PDF's to clients or contractors & also print colored plans right in our office. </span><br />
