Last week, we shared a first look at the Mt. Olympus Desert Oasis Project — a space our client says has completely transformed how they live at home.
Today, Chelsea takes you through why this Southern Utah desert‑inspired design stands out as one of her favorites. From the raised pergola poolside lounge to the sunken fire feature, she shares the details and design thinking that made this space a perfect fit for the homeowners.

Missed the Utah Valley Parade of Homes this year? Don’t worry—we’ve got you. 👀
Come take a peek at Nine Gables, one of our favorite projects from the 2025 Parade. We teamed up with @rasbandcustomhomes and @allisoncampbelldesign to make sure the outside felt just as thoughtful as the inside—and we’re sharing a few of our favorite elements from the landscape right here.
Come walk through the space with us!

Containers can do a lot more than add seasonal color.
When they’re scaled and placed intentionally, they help frame the entry and make the whole space feel more welcoming.
Sharing a few more details from this 2025 @uvparade home in stories today.

A front yard can look good and still feel a little off.
Most of the time, it’s not the plants.
It’s how you move through the space.
Where your eye goes.
How everything connects as you approach the door.
When those pieces work together, the whole experience feels more natural.

This is what thoughtful landscape design looks like.
A lot of back and forth.
Sketching, marking things up, walking the site.
Trying things. Adjusting. Looking at it again.
It’s not the part people usually see,
but it’s what makes it all feel right in the end.

The best landscapes deepen our connection to where we live.
To the earth.
It’s easy to forget how much this matters.
Until you have a space that brings you back to it.
Happy Earth Day.

Most homeowner’s don’t realize they’re making this mistake in their landscape.
They start before there is a clear plan ‼️
One decision leads to another, and over time, the space starts to feel disconnected.
Not because anything is wrong, but because nothing was designed to work together.
That’s what a plan changes.
It brings everything together.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out to a landscape designer.
Most people come to us with a general idea of how they want their space to feel, but aren’t sure how to bring it all together.
That’s exactly where the process begins.
But having a few things in mind can make those first conversations easier.
If you’ve been thinking about your landscape, this is a good place to start.

These are the spaces you live in.
Where kids run barefoot and you find yourself outside without even thinking about it.

This week we had the chance to spend time with students at Utah State University.
It’s always meaningful to step outside of our day-to-day and connect with people who care about this work.
