You’ll love having a good outdoor kitchen or bbq area if you like cooking meat, fish or veggies for friends and family. Imagine a fun weekend with your own outdoor grill, sink, storage space, countertops or even a pizza oven. Stone, wood, steel, concrete and brick can help define a rustic, traditional or contemporary style that is entirely up to you. All can be used or sealed to create a durable outdoor area able to withstand harsh weather conditions. Consider covering your awesome area with a roof to make cooking more comfortable and virtually available year-round.
We bring a full breadth of concrete and masonry services to creatively enhance landscape design and installation and provide to or add to the foundation (no pun intended) of the artistic expression. Driveways, patios, retaining walls, pool decks, outdoor decks, kitchens, custom BBQs, rock scapes, brick, block and stone work, fire pits, even putting greens are all available to integrate into your vision for your home and landscaping.
Drainage Systems – Proper drainage systems can prevent pools of water from collecting in undesired areas – like next to the house – and prevent problems, especially if you have a slope or low spot on your property. Our inspiring solutions are designed to help your landscape stay beautiful while avoiding damage from heavy rains or excess water flows.
In areas throughout the Ventura County region that experience little or sporadic rainfall, installing a drought-tolerant landscape is a viable, cost-effective and desirable solution to water restrictions. Adding gravel, river stones, permeable paving, low or no-maintenance ground covers, shrubs, trees, and perennials that don’t require daily irrigation are viable alternatives. Combined with plants native to our region, along with hardscapes that eliminate watering altogether, we can design and install a drought-tolerant landscape that not only enhances your home’s beauty and efficiency, but also can be an inspirational source of peace and serenity.
Artistic Landscape uses contemporary design and art traditions to combine nature and culture, bridging the gap between landscape architecture and garden design. As a licensed member of the California Landscape Contractors Association (CSLA), we provide a design and build services including outdoor elements like decks, patios, swimming pools, gazebos, paths, water features, and walls to create and install attractive, visually pleasing and comfortable landscapes. We rely upon time-honored principles like proportion, order, repetition, and unity in our designs to bring the Art of Landscaping to your home.
Incorporating safety and aesthetics, a creatively designed, well-placed lighting system will make your landscape more dramatic while allowing you to enjoy the beauty outside your home when night falls. Imagine interesting shadows contrasted with highlights of signature plants, or water features with underwater lights that illuminate and place your landscape at the center of attention and serenity.
Increase the time you spend outside your home and enhance your living experience with a well-designed patio cover. We’ll make sure your patio cover is engineered correctly, complies with building codes, complements the architectural style of your home, and is in your budget. We’ll help with the proper orientation of the patio cover to the sun and ensure the size, scale and overhead dimensions all work with your unique requirements.
You might be surprised at all the possibilities in shapes, designs and uses for swimming pools. From big to small, there are pools available for swimming laps, cooling off and relaxing, or entertaining kids, family and friends. Local codes, materials and your budget will all factor into the type pool you chose. Pools with a water feature or waterfalls are a great way to combine two types of water features, as is integrating a pool house for the ultimate in comfort and livability.
Although there is no easier way to create an instant lawn than sodding, there’s more that goes into establishing a successful lawn than simply laying sod. The keys are technique and after care, including soil testing to provide a snapshot of soil requirements so the grass will be healthy, ward off pests, and reduce the overall cost of lawn maintenance. Choosing the right grass is equally important to address geography and climate – particularly the lawn’s exposure to sun and shade.
Synthetic turf technology has advanced to be seriously included in any landscape design consideration due not only to the durability and water-saving benefits, but also to the incredible variety and quality of realistic artificial grass alternatives available today. Beautiful, trouble-free lawns, all weather drainage, kid and pet safe, and many quality brands make the use of synthetic turf easy to seamlessly incorporate into any home project.
Planting trees add beauty, increase home values, provide cooling shade and offer shelter for wildlife. Planting plants can provide well-defined borders to lawns, create a sense of privacy and serenity, or develop an inviting palette of colors, shapes and textures in a busy garden. Good design as well as proper planting technique is critical to the long-term success and survival of any tree or plant planting effort.
You don’t have to spend time and effort maintaining a water feature to enjoy the peace, sound, and serenity that water can provide. Regardless of the size of your yard, there are different ways to integrate a water-conserving, no-maintenance water feature like: prefabricated fountains, self-contained bubbling containers, miniature ponds, water basins, or pondless waterfalls. The choice and pleasure is yours.
Wood decks can be a great complement to your home and outside landscape design. The type of deck – wraparound, pool deck, view deck – as well as shape, size and pattern placement of the wood, are all design elements to consider when planning your deck. Other considerations include decking materials – tropical hardwoods, synthetic woods, softwoods, pressure-treated lumber – whether it’s connected or detached from the house, local permitting and budget. Or maybe a well-planned patio/garden area and raised deck for dining and relaxing should be considered.
