Creating secluded backyard oasis can be a fun adventure.  However. when you have challenges such as a neighboring high traffic street and a sloped yard that allows for that traffic to see through, that task at hand can be more daunting than exciting.  

By utilizing the existing height, a terraced landscape creates a hedge that provides seclusion and a natural water feature as an additional sound barrier.  With the terrace, the thick landscape provides an oasis without encroaching on the limited space.  

The dry creek bed, pondless water feature, and boulder walls that surround the outdoor kitchen, hot tube, and fire-pit give the homeowners a relaxing getaway without even leaving their property.
