The Sunset Garden Project

An Elevated Lakeside Landscape for Relaxation, Gardening & Breathtaking Views

Project Type: Custom Landscape Design for Sunset Viewing & Outdoor Living
Client Goal: Enhance the natural surroundings with usable outdoor space that captures the sunset while blending with the existing landscape

The Vision

Set atop a hillside with sweeping west-facing views, this home offered the perfect canvas for an outdoor space designed around one key feature: the sunset. The homeowners envisioned a multi-use landscape where they could relax, entertain, and continue their love of gardening - all while taking in the evening light.

Our Approach

We worked closely with the homeowners to design a natural, elegant landscape that connects every element of the yard - from hot tub and patio to fire features and gardens - while preserving the view and maximizing comfort.

Key elements include:

  • Paver patio with hot tub - A spacious patio was built directly outside the home with clean-lined pavers and a built-in hot tub zone — private, calming, and perfect for sunset soaking.
  • Flagstone walkways & fireplace area - Natural stone paths guide you from the patio to a tucked-away fireplace area. It’s an ideal spot for late-night gatherings and starry conversations.
  • Surrounding gardens & planting design - The plant palette was selected for texture, seasonal interest, and low maintenance — adding layers of softness and colour that complement the surrounding environment without obstructing the view.

The Result

This project beautifully ties together form, function, and nature. The final landscape enhances the experience of being outdoors - whether you’re hosting friends, tending to the gardens, or simply soaking in the last light of day. Every detail was designed with purpose, and every feature was placed to support the homeowners’ lifestyle and love of the outdoors.

Client Testimonial

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done on our property. From the very beginning, the design process was thorough and collaborative, ensuring every detail was carefully planned to meet our vision. The team was professional throughout, with a keen attention to detail that truly brought the design to life. They were always pleasant to work with, and we were impressed by how they kept the work site clean and organized throughout the entire project. It’s clear that the thoughtful planning and hard work paid off - the end result is a stunning landscape that exceeded our expectations. ”
