Crystal Ridge

Phase 1: From Blank Slate to Outdoor Retreat

This project began with a blank slate; a vast, natural backyard with endless possibilities. The goal in the first phase of this landscape renovation project was to establish the core elements that would enhance the property’s natural beauty, all while fulfilling the client’s vision for a stunning outdoor space. Phase 1 introduced a remodeled composite deck to connect the indoor and outdoor living spaces, and a cozy outdoor fireplace.

By focusing on landscape renovations that celebrate the natural beauty of the surroundings, we further enhanced this space with natural stone accents and pathways to make separate outdoor living spaces, a custom-designed outdoor shed, and improved the landscape with different beds throughout. We were even able to bring some of these natural elements and improvements to the inside of the home by updating the interior basement space, bar, and fireplace area.

This phase set the stage for the complete transformation, laying a strong foundation for the landscape that Crystal Ridge would become.

Phase 2: Expanding Outdoor Living Opportunities

We revisited this property to better meet the homeowners’ evolving needs and create even more usable outdoor living space.

A pavilion-style roof was added over the deck, designed to blend seamlessly with the home’s existing architecture and feel original to the house. This created a comfortable, covered outdoor area for use in any weather.
The updated deck now includes both a dining area and a separate lounge space, offering more options for outdoor entertaining.

A new pool area added even more function and luxury, featuring a tanning ledge, natural stone diving rock, natural stone pavers, retaining walls with built-in planters, and artificial turf for games and poolside gathering.

These additions gave the homeowners a beautiful, functional outdoor space that fit their needs at the time.

Phase 3: Enhancing & Expanding

In the third phase of this project, we took the landscape to new heights, by building on the strong foundation established in Phases 1 and 2. This phase was all about evolving the homeowner’s vision to create a more functional and cohesive space. It began with an expansion of the home with an exterior addition, where our team added all new patio spaces, a driveway with custom pavers, and a breezeway that connects the main house to the new outdoor structure, a multipurpose space that includes a garage, bathroom, and shower for the pool, and additional space for an office and home gym.

The area surrounding the garage received a complete makeover, including relocating the original shed outdoor structure design further down the property. Watch our video to see our team in action!

A standout addition in this phase was a new outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, thoughtfully placed between the deck and surrounding landscape for easy flow and entertaining. The deck was updated to align with the home’s refreshed exterior, while surrounding landscape enhancements brought continuity to the space—resulting in a cohesive, fully integrated outdoor environment.
