This Newport Coast, California project by Richard

a barren backyard into a modern wonderland
over nine months. Four deck-jet water features
spill into the newly constructed pool, which is
illuminated by six submerged LED lights.

The client requested that the backyard be formed in a way that took
full advantage of the space allotted. According to the contractor, ���We
wanted to create various areas with enjoyable experiences and maximize the ocean view.���
Mark Scott, the landscape architect, used artist renderings to convey the design to the client. Following this, the contractor laid out the
job so the client could understand how everything would fit together
in the finished product.
