DESIGN STORIES - IRVINE PROJECT INSTALL USING OLSEN PAVERS

The one thing I love about designing outdoor spaces is creating a look that is not cookie cutter.  One that is custom to the client, their home and the environment.  You just can't get a look that suits your every lifestyle with a cookie cutter design.  Nor will it look nice.  In this custom case the homeowners wanted more hard surfaces and less planting since they love to entertain and have lots of parties.  They were also open to the idea of using pavers, which adds permeability to the garden and is very functional.  For both the front and the back we used plant timber top with a runner pattern in color hazelnut from Olsen Pavingstone

The planting will take place in March because the homeowner wanted some edible plants that will not be available from the website she buys from until then.  There is also lots of pottery, which still allows for plants, just not in ground.  Overall this project turned out great and I am really happy with the results.  Not to mention the pavers look dope.  The below video is of the install.
