When building their grand heritage-style home, this homeowner sought more than a stunning residence—they wanted a property that reflected their vision of elegance, functionality, and harmony with nature. They entrusted us to bring this vision to life, designing and constructing a masterpiece that matched the grandeur of their home and lifestyle.

- Creating a large water feature as a focal point.
- Establishing diverse garden areas, including hummingbird-friendly spaces.
- Building custom elements such as playground areas, pillar lighting, and a private path to nearby walking trails.
- Maintaining the property’s meticulous appearance on an ongoing basis.
