Terrace in the Hills, Burlingame

In this Burlingame home, a bland retaining wall is transformed into a focal point. Stone and brick are artfully matched to create a design that brings interest and life to an otherwise plain terrace.

Artscapes Landscape Design and Construction specializes in beautiful landscape design, installation, and maintenance in Burlingame and throughout the Peninsula. Think of Artscapes for all your landscaping needs.

The terrace is divided in different areas to entertain and relax: a built-in bbq for cooking and a gas fireplace for cozy night chats. The curved lines of the retaining wall add visual appeal, while smooth river stones add interest to the artful patterns created by the brick.

New details add interest to the terrace floor: sinuous lines of brick, which match the top contour of the retaining wall, highlight the bluestone mosaic.
