Consisting of large square concrete pads, interspersed with artificial turf and gravel, this property's low-maintenance landscape takes its cues from the home's straight lines, right angles and modern, streamlined aesthetic.

Hard + Soft

Closer to the entryway, the concrete pads give way to layered plantings of palm trees and other hardy tropical plants. Raised containers filled with trailing plants and succulents add softness while the gray beach pebbles surrounding the concrete pads are a permeable surface for rainwater.

Party-Ready Backyard

The back of this modern home features a covered patio with two separate seating areas. The patio leads to an infinity-edge pool flanked by maintenance-free artificial turf. A pair of small gas fire pits add illumination and create cozy spots for guests to gather round on chilly nights.
