This project was a beautiful collaboration between Montgomery Robbins and the Architect remodeling the house and cabana structure.  The original 1928 Art Deco home underwent its own transformation, while we designed the landscape to match.  The clients wanted a style reminiscent of a Country Club experience, with an expansive pool, outdoor kitchen with a shade structure, and a custom play area for the kids.  Bluestone paving really shines in this setting, offsetting the classic Sonoma-style architecture and framing the contemporary gas fire pit.  Landscape lighting enhances the site for evening gatherings or a late-night swim.  In front, a bluestone entrance leads out to paver driveway and styled front gate.  Plantings throughout are Water Efficiency Landscape certified, accenting the front hardscape and back terraces with beautiful low-water color.
