Pro shots are in! Big shout out to @denimsuitphoto for the amazing shots! This is my 3rd project with this client and they are hands down some of my favorite people. They moved into a new house and wanted to make the space their own. Thank you for trusting me over the years with your homes!!!

Today I looked back on where I started vs today. I’m so grateful to all the experiences and people I’ve met along the way. “Success” doesn’t happen over night. It takes years of dedication. But the funny thing about success is that I’ll never feel successful. There is always room to do better. To me success is a journey not a destination.

Paying attention to lines of site can make for some drastic changes to simple spaces. Create cool focal points and your eyes will follow!

Borders can be subtle or extravagant- depending on the purpose and focus of the overall design. Simple borders/walls delineate spaces and can be utilized to hide things so they don't interfere with the outdoor living ambiance . But simple doesn't have to be boring. Functional doesn't have to compromise on design or interfere with the overall landscape. Some clients prefer more elaborate and and artistic borders, allowing them to have their own stand out moment. Either way, we love creating borders, fences, gates and privacy screens for our clients. #landscapedesign #curbappeal #garden #gardendesign #landscape #backyardmakeover #backyardremodel #homedesignideas #backyardliving #modernlandscape #naturallandscape #landscapearchitecture #outdoorliving #plantingdesign #wildlifegarden #garden #pool #luxurypool #succulents #waterfeatures #trees #siliconvalley #bayarea #bayareadesign #bayarearealestate #houzz #hillsborough #modernhomes

Adding a pool into a backyard design is not always needed, but its a great way to add in some fun, quality time with family and friends. Pools can be placed centrally to the design, or it can be tucked away. There's lots of way to make the pool personal, design forward, or simple. They can be organically shaped, or provide clean lines with beautiful lighting the highlight the aesthetics. Here's a look at some of our favorite designs so far! Let us know which one you like the best by commenting below! #landscapedesign #curbappeal #garden #gardendesign #landscape #backyardmakeover #backyardremodel #homedesignideas #backyardliving #modernlandscape #naturallandscape #landscapearchitecture #outdoorliving #plantingdesign #wildlifegarden #garden #pool #luxurypool #succulents #waterfeatures #trees #siliconvalley #bayarea #bayareadesign #bayarearealestate #houzz #hillsborough #modernhomes #luxurypoolsmag

We love when clients want to add specific design elements to give it a more personal touch. It helps individualize the experience, and really tie the home and the outdoor space together. Whether its the use of ornamental pieces, furniture, colors, patterns, water features, and so much more- there's really no limit to creating a personalized design. Some prefer their preferences to be full spotlight, and centered, while others want hints and subtle touches of it. You can't go wrong either way. Stroke of Nature Design works closely with their clients to provide a distinctive space created for outdoor living.... your way.

Weather here is starting to cool in the evenings/nights. The fall is the perfect time to cozy up outside with a nice fire. Here are some firepits that we've designed in the past. They can range from big, eye-catching pieces to more intimate, smaller scale designs. A firepit can help fill a space in the seating area and create a specific atmosphere. So grab a blanket, head outside, and turn on the heat. #landscapedesign #curbappeal #garden #gardendesign #landscape #backyardmakeover #backyardremodel #homedesignideas #backyardliving #modernlandscape #naturallandscape #landscapearchitecture #outdoorliving #plantingdesign #wildlifegarden #garden #pool #luxurypool #succulents #waterfeatures #trees #firepits #outdoorseating #fire

This gorgeous house is tucked away in the Auburn hills. Providing a landscape design for a home on a hillside can pose some challenges. However, we love the way this design came together. We used the hillside and the changes in elevation to help us create some beautiful pathways and hardscape. The sunken entertainment space makes you really feel like you are immersed in those hills. By using lighting in a creative way, we highlighted the changes in the elevations, and illuminated key elements. We also took some practical issues into consideration, like the garbage area- and created a beautiful structure to hide and blend it into the design. Planting was kept minimal with lots of negative space to preserve the natural-ness of the Auburn Hills. #landscapedesign #curbappeal #garden #gardendesign #landscape #backyardmakeover #backyardremodel #homedesignideas #backyardliving #modernlandscape #naturallandscape #landscapearchitecture #outdoorliving #plantingdesign #wildlifegarden #garden #pool #luxurypool #succulents #waterfeatures #trees #auburn #auburn #elevations #hillside #northerncalifornia #californiadesigns
