Our Solution
To bring structure and softness into balance, we designed a terraced layout that followed the site’s natural slope—allowing us to carve out functional areas without resorting to heavy retaining walls. Steel-edged planting beds, gravel seating zones, and a custom concrete-and-steel deck created strong, modern lines while enhancing usability across grade changes.
To handle drainage, we introduced dry creek beds and connected roof downspouts to direct water strategically through the property, ensuring runoff worked with the design rather than against it. Stone edging was used throughout to delineate planting areas while reinforcing the modern aesthetic.
A mix of artificial turf and zoysia lawn pockets offered soft, low-maintenance surfaces for play and relaxation. A large heritage oak was protected during construction and integrated into the layout as a living focal point. The result is a visually clean yet botanically rich landscape that feels expansive, curated, and entirely at home within Travis Heights.
