Contemporary design aesthetics blend with natural elements in this stunning landscape design. A combination of rock cobbles, boulders, dark mulch, and decomposed granite (DG) establishes a multi-textured, captivating ground surface that enhances the allure of a minimalistic planting palette. Smooth, rounded profiles of cobbles add a natural, earthy touch that beautifully contrasts with the sleek lines of sculptural plants and sharp dimensions of larger boulders. Deep, rich hues of the mulch beautifully contrast with the lighter-toned rocks, while also harmonizing with the paint palette of the house. The DG pathway surface to the side yard, with brick runs for the trash bin wheels, creates a cohesive look that harmonizes with the overall material selection of the home. Up-lights strategically placed at the trees and beautifully alternating pathway lights work together to create a stunning sense of drama during the evening hours.
