Organics Out Back

I can’t wait to get this project shot professionally. Lighting truly takes a space to the next level.

A few photos from the Ola Vista masterpiece we worked on with the Legends .cdm . This was such a fun project to work on . Really turned out beautiful. Feeling very fortunate to be able to work with some of the best builders in San Clemente . These guys are always generous with their time. It makes me a better contractor to learn from guys like . So very grateful to have the opportunity to work in my hometown with some amazing mentors.

A small front yard right above T street for my friends Dan and Liz. Simplicity is beautiful. Sometimes less speaks volumes when designing certain front yard projects .

I have no idea who lives at this house but it used to be an amazing old guy name Mr. Contino . My dad did this landscape project probably 25 years ago . It was my first time being on a big job like this with my dad. It made me fall in love with this type of work. I realized (at 16years old ) a few things about this industry. There will always be highs and lows like any industry but if you position yourself just right, build a referral network and grind hard it can be a very lucrative means of employment. The greatest part is that every project is different, new challenges arise in every job, you are constantly meeting new people and you are always in different places . It was a perfect job with my ADHD brain . Fast forward 25 years and is in year 16 and counting . Cheers to my team, some have been here for the entire ride, this dream isn’t possible without a full team effort . Love you guys .

Fire table with a view. We have been building our fire tables like this for years because I never liked having only 8” of usable space around the perimeter . We build them like this so the larger portion could be used for a cheese plate,bottle(s) of wine or appetizers or a s’more platter for kids. We also seal them so when the inevitable glass of red wine that spills doesn’t stain the stucco . It’s all about the little details baby !!!! We are bringing in the H-but we and tumbled lava to finish this beauty up. This was a fun project with the boys .cdm
