"In summary, we couldn't be happier with the workmanship and professionalism of Paradise Environments!!"

 

BOB & SHARON KLEMPEN - AUBAINE VINEYARD

 

 

I am pleased with Paradise Environment's work. Our courtyard went from a concrete prison to a beautiful escape. Between the soothing waterfall and the luscious greenery, George was able to create a park-like relaxing atmosphere between two of our buildings.

Thanks again George. You did a great job and were very professional."

DON WALTER

"George, Xander and company exceeded our expectations in design, construction and services. Work was completed in a timely manner. Even after 2 years, they have made themselves available to answer any questions we have had.

We really love our pool!"

On top of the 4x10s are 4x4'' cross members that provide enough shade to cool down the area beneath for outdoor dining. The structure is completely free standing and mounted on 3'x3' concrete footings. The lumber selected was 'heart' cedar in order to minimize the presence of knots and future warping.

The olive trees were planted just a few months prior to the photo being taken. They were craned in as full grown specimens and care had to be taken to minimize damage to existing plant material.

The joints are filled with lemon thyme, Sisleria autumanalis,Heuchera & Carex Tumulicola. The area is irrigated seasonally with pop up micro sprays. The landscape use water in this area was minimal so the plant material was chosen to accommodate the minimal amount available.

Lighting

A well-executed plan for outdoor lighting can have a dramatic impact on the look and beauty of your home, and all the spaces around it. It can give you new usable space that would normally be lost to the nighttime darkness. It can make an average area look like a work of art. And done properly, it can bring a sense of warmth and intimacy to any space.

Retaining Walls

Sometimes, all it takes to style-up a place is a simple, properly executed retaining wall. Usually designed as part of an overall landscape project, a retaining wall can be made out of just about any material you like.

Sitting Areas

Not always a garden, not always a patio, we created another category of Outdoor Living that we call Sitting Areas. With these photos, you can see how we've taken an average or unusable area and turned it into something cozy, comfortable and relaxing. In fact, I think you'll find we're pretty good at visualizing and creating new living spaces in places where you may have never thought possible.

The steps were formed up using Styrofoam molds to create the cantilevered bull nose on each step. The back wall of the firepit was built higher than the surrounding walls to obstruct the view corridor into and from the neighboring property. The bench seating was formed up after the block wall was completed and was poured in place with a trowelled finish. The firebowl is a molded concrete product with built in drainage line and gas supply as well as a remotely controlled ignition system.

The paver stones were cut on all sides to provide an uniform grout joint throughout and the stone on the fire pits walls were remnants of the material used on the deck. Pit wall was capped with a special ordered quartz that had a hand chipped bullnose on both the inside and outside edge. Additional seating was molded into the faux rock boulders that separated the yard from the golf course.

Low voltage copper light fixtures are suspended from the ceiling with a wind break constructed of shotcrete at the far end. The interior of the wall is faced with concrete faux rock panels and doubles as a weeping wall. The deck area is comprised of 3 different types of pavers. Within the French door arc are tri-cobbles which are encircled with a band of charcoal ''Roman 1'' pavers. Due to the arc, not only does every other paver need to be cut on each side but the tri-cobbles bordering need to be trimmed to fit as well as the euro cobbles on the other side.

The columns were constructed of concrete block, filled with concrete and veneered with a quartzite pencil rock for a mortarless appearance. Each column cap was setup with a Styrofoam form to allow for a bullnosed cap to be poured out of white Portland cement. The timbers are 6x12'' custom milled with 4x8 cross members.

The area had to be regraded and a concrete wall installed with a French drain to intercept the water prior to reaching the house. The French drain continued on around the house in the area below the cobbles. The flagstone area was then over excavated and filled with drain rock and wrapped in a geo-fabric to prevent soil migration into the drainage area. Flagstone was laid on top with soil in the joints to allow thyme to eventually spread. Allot of work to drink your morning coffee in the sun.

The area that the trees are growing in were planted in a 7' mound created from the excavated soil from the front and back yards. This had a two fold purpose. One was to increase the amount of privacy from the neighboring property and the other was to cut down the prevailing Northwesterly winds that plagued the site.

Walkways

If you want to "feel good" about your home every day for the rest of your life, then you might consider updating the entryway to your home. Most people use their entryway at least twice a day.

  

Of course, not all walkways have to lead to your front door. We can beautify anyplace where you're trying to get "from point A to point B." Just take a look at some of these examples.
