Project story

The design.

A timber pergola covers the main patio, with planting and boulders around its edge. Curved paving follows a small lawn, then narrows into a path beside the stone boundary wall.

Grasses and flowering plants grow between the path and the lawn. Small lights trace the garden’s curves at dusk, and bulbs beneath the pergola illuminate the seating area. GO Designs’ work included pergolas, lighting design, horticulture, hardscape installation, and irrigation.
