The site is steep and is surrounded by a lush landscape of mature trees. The concept for the garden cuts a bench into the hillside to provide a large open flat area. The pool, fireplace and outdoor kitchen step up with the grade to gradually move up the hillside. The raised pool also helps with the grade and makes the pool feel like a fountain while provide seating. The outdoor kitchen is a barbecue heaven and includes the normal amenities plus a pizza oven buried into the hill, big screen TV and surround sound. The contemporary style of the garden meshes well with the craftsman exterior and modern interior of the home.
