Longing for Spring Again . . . Landscape Design
Longing for Spring Again . . . Landscape Design. Outside my window, an industrious bird is pecking away at the bark of a winter-worn tree . . . the sky above is blanketed with heavy fog here in Happy Valley, Oregon and thoughts of sunny days creep into the corners of my work day. I’ve been organizing some of our landscape shots – before and after shots – and they are pulling me in.
Portfolios of past Paradise Restored projects that I hate to leave behind as we begin a new year. Really amazing ‘works of art’ in landscape design. They are more than photos in a website. They are the collective work of designers, craftsman, laborers, and homeowner visions. Each show the draw of nature on all of us to “get outside and live a little!”
One landscape that sticks out in my mind is a property on a hillside, it too in Happy Valley. You will see why I am fond of it as you view the images. An outdoor space loaded with relaxing areas to dine, lounge, enjoy a fire or a soothing soak in a spa. A kid’s play area is perfect and the view of the valley is ‘out of the ordinary.’
As I write this, the cool winter sun breaks through the fog and rain droplets glisten on the tree branches . . . winter stretches out ahead – a few more months . . . making it my pleasure to share a bit of spring sunshine through this beautiful landscape design.
To start us off – an outdoor kitchen area with a view – many spots to relax – at the counter, close to the firepit, or on a lounger in full sunlight . . .
Firepit, View
Next, hardscape views of this slender wedge of outdoor bliss – a reading nook, a central gathering spot, outdoor dining and living area, firepit and spa . . . a door away from the indoor family room and bar area . . . imagine the entertaining capabilities.

It’s always fun to visit the construction phases of hardscaping, firepit, outdoor kitchen, and stone spa.
