Landscape Design & Build in Palm Springs

Mid-century lines, turquoise water and planting with attitude. Residential yards designed and built for the way Palm Springs lives outside.

The Palm Springs look

Modernism, Planted

Palm Springs speaks its own design language: low, flat rooflines, breeze block screens, pools the colour of the sky and agave used like sculpture. A good yard here speaks it fluently, without turning the house into a museum piece.

That is where most of our Palm Springs work starts. Clean concrete and large-format porcelain, geometric layouts, a fire feature for cool desert nights, and desert planting chosen for its silhouette as much as its thirst.

  • Breeze block screens and walls
  • Pools and spas with clean, crisp coping
  • Sculptural agave, yucca and barrel cactus in crushed rock
  • Fire bowls and fire pits for evenings outside

Palm Springs · Modern Renovation

Bliss Way

  • Hardscape: 24″×48″ porcelain pavers, sand-finish concrete
  • Living: BBQ island, Lumacast fire pit, Alumawood shade structure
  • Planting: Golden barrel, agave, totem pole cactus, date palm
  • Lighting: String lights, uplighting, integrated panel lighting

Palm Springs · Mid-century modern backyard

Calle Rolph

A residential backyard transformed into a modern desert oasis: a clean, geometric layout of porcelain pavers and acid-wash concrete, the existing curved pool and spa refreshed with acid-washed coping, and a dedicated seating area around a large Corten steel fire bowl.

  • Hardscape: Porcelain pavers, acid-wash concrete
  • Pool & spa: Existing curved pool and spa, acid-washed concrete coping
  • Living: Corten steel fire bowl, outdoor shower screened by breeze block
  • Planting: Yucca rostrata, Madagascar palms, an olive tree

Good questions

Palm Springs, Answered

Do you work on mid-century homes?

Yes. Calle Rolph and Palm Canyon are both mid-century modern backyards in Palm Springs, and Bliss Way was designed around the “Palm Springs Modern” look.

Front yard, backyard or both?

Both. We build for private homes only: backyards, front yards, pools and patios.

Can I see the design before you build it?

Yes. 3D renderings are an optional step on top of the landscape plan: we can show the design from any angle, with the finish materials, the planting and the sunlight, and change it on screen first.

How does it start?

With a first phone call about your project, then a site visit at your property to agree a clear scope of work. Approximate budget and timing are discussed on site.
