We needed a bridge to cross the dry creek bed, so I designed a version of a Japanese yatsuhashi, or zig zag, bridge. It is clad in concrete backer board. I wanted to simulate a granite mountain plateau with a boulder peak. The client purchased the concrete lantern which perfectly complements the entrance to this woodland garden. Photo by Jay Sifford

A dry stream bed was designed and installed to drain water away from the lawn and house, so the lower border planting bed would not get flooded in the winter. River rock and larger accent boulders were used to create the dry stream bed. It's edged with steel next to the lawn and an existing stone retaining wall on the other. Evergreen shrubs were planted to soften the fence and function as a privacy hedge.

The back areas of this expansive back yard landscape lies beneath several mature oak trees. Lounging chairs positioned to take advantage of the distant hillside views. The landscape has has been transformed into a welcoming outdoor retreat. The renovations include a wraparound deck, an expansive travertine natural stone patio, stairways and pathways along with concrete retaining walls and column accents with dramatic planters. The pathways meander throughout the landscape... some with travertine stepping stones and gravel and those below the majestic oaks left natural with fallen leaves. Raised vegetable beds and fruit trees occupy some of the sunniest areas of the landscape. A variety of low-water and low-maintenance plants for both sunny and shady areas include several succulents, grasses, CA natives and other site-appropriate Mediterranean plants complimented by a variety of boulders. Dramatic white pots provide architectural accents, filled with succulents and citrus trees. Design, Photos, Drawings © Eileen Kelly, Dig Your Garden Landscape Design

Another beautiful addition to this client's home, which includes a previous outdoor kitchen and putting green area. This project addressed two areas of need, First, we installed a dry riverbed in the back, down a slope, and just above the previously installed putting green. Water was an issue running down that side and into the driveway. We dug down and installed rock to catch and slow the water and direct it to the drive. The rock used tied into the rock we previously installed during the putting green project and only increased the beauty in the area. Lights were installed to the putting green area, so that night play is possible. We also added mossrock accent/edging walls to the beds in the front of the home for a clean look and to define the space
