After: This landscape design project won the Residential Design/Build GRAND Award from the Professional Landcare Network in 2005. A two-tier waterfall cascades into a custom-made pool, which is surrounded by a variety of plants, trees, boulders and a stone wall. The pool also features underwater speakers. At one end of the pool near the waterfall is a built-in stone fireplace and built-in grill. At the other end of the pool is a cabana with an outdoor kitchen and dining area, complete with a Subzero refrigerator, icemaker and microwave. HighGrove Partners also installed an irrigation system, lighting, turf and landscaping throughout the yard.
