SPANISH ESTATE

Existing site plan showing current backyard layout in Pasadena for landscape design project

BASE PLAN

This plan outlines the property’s current layout, showcasing a spacious yard with a pool, spa, sport court, and mature surrounding landscape. Concrete walkways and a central driveway connect key areas of the home, creating an accessible and cohesive layout. Existing utilities—including drainage outlets, irrigation lines, hose bibs, and electrical panels—are clearly identified, with spot elevations and site details mapped to support accurate grading and the next phase of design and construction.

DESIGN PROPOSALS

This sketch plan illustrates the proposed upgrades and refinements for the property, emphasizing a more cohesive and functional outdoor layout. The design introduces a new pergola structure to define a shaded gathering area, paired with an expanded outdoor dining and lounge space for enhanced usability. Upgraded paving materials and decorative tile patterns create continuity around the pool and seating zones, while new planting layouts feature layered textures and colors for added depth and visual appeal. Select existing trees are preserved to maintain shade and maturity, complemented by the addition of fresh plantings such as ferns, lavender, and roses. Updated lighting and irrigation systems are integrated for convenience and ambiance, ensuring the redesigned landscape transitions seamlessly from day to night.

CONCEPTUAL PLAN

This conceptual landscape plan presents a cohesive redesign centered around the existing pool and spa, transforming the backyard into a multifunctional outdoor retreat.

Complementary textures such as gravel inlays, decorative borders, and dark mulch beds add depth and visual contrast. Artificial turf and carefully placed plant groupings create smooth transitions between living zones while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The design also incorporates accent lighting to highlight pathways, planting areas, and architectural elements—ensuring functionality and ambiance throughout both day and night.
