GO Designs recast this mid-century courtyard in a crisp desert modern design, laying a cool ribbon of travertine that guides visitors from a refreshed front lawn to a secluded rear poolscape. Rain-darkened adobe arches now overlook flowering beds edged with chiseled sandstone, where hummingbirds flit among zinnias, salvia, and feathery ornamental grasses. Drifts of lavender sage deliver a clean herbal scent that rides every breeze. A new irrigation network drinks sparingly, leaving the air faintly earthy after summer monsoons. Beyond iron gates, a palm canopy frames the water feature sequence. The raised spa cascades into a geometric pool, its glass-green surface mirroring evening clouds while hidden jets whisper a low, calming hiss. Four wrought-iron chairs encircle a mosaic-topped fire feature, their seats warming as blue-amber flames crackle against nightfall. Under a cedar pergola, cushioned lounge chairs invite the soft touch of desert breezes; integrated LED lighting bathes vine-covered posts in honeyed glow without stealing the stars. Hardscape crews set each travertine paver on a laser-leveled caliche base, guaranteeing a barefoot-friendly finish that stays temperate even at one hundred degrees. Italian cypress sentinels stand behind the pool wall, directing the eye upward while preserving privacy. Low-voltage path lights trace a subtle line to the driveway, where native shrubs and a youthful mesquite define the smart curb appeal prized in El Paso landscaping circles. Meticulous scheduling, on-site masonry, and horticulture expertise allowed the construction team to finish in under five months, minimizing disruption to neighborhood rhythms. The result balances water, flame, and foliage in a composition that feels both vibrant and restful. With programmable filtration and drip zones, ongoing upkeep remains simple, ensuring GO Designs will stay a trusted steward of this retreat for seasons to come.
