The Planning Notebook
The handoff notebook every finished yard needs
An installed-material register, demonstrated controls, and clear open items make a finished yard easier to own.
Gardens & living
Good ideas take root.
Gardens through the seasons, places to gather, and practical ideas for making yourself at home outside.
The Planning Notebook
Design the garden around the pool, too
The water is one part of the outdoor room. Its edges determine much of the experience.
Before You Build
The route into the yard belongs on the plan
A project can be beautifully designed and still overlook how materials and equipment arrive.
The Considered Detail
The poolside storage plan
Towels, toys, and everyday supplies need a place before they reach the chairs.
Before You Build
Before you add an outdoor shower
Define the purpose, privacy, and daily routine before choosing the fixture.
Material Matters
Choose the pool coping with the terrace
The edge around the water connects the pool, steps, and surrounding materials.
