HUBLER RESIDENCE

Design, Installation, and Project Management by Bill Vander Pol

This was another great back yard transformation that was completed under very little stipulation from the homeowner. They set the parameters and scale for the project in the beginning and let us produce something elegant and functional. After seeing our ability for design and aesthetics the homeowners added a few elements before completion. This was a project that could have easily spun out of control, but with constant updating of change orders for additions, this project stayed on budget and in check.
The Design........

The landscape prior to construction had a 3' slope from the foundation of the house to the back property line.

2009 BOISE FLOWER AND GARDEN SHOW

Design, Installation and Project Management by Bill Vander Pol

Garden shows always choose to be challenging projects for many reasons. This project started out challenging in the design phase in trying to create something that was original, sustainable, aesthetic and constructively possible. It took some time to convince all involved that hauling tons, and tons of rock into the Grove Building would accomplish the goal we set in the beginning. Even after the first day of construction, many including other exhibitors questioned the intent. We manged to pull it off and impress many attendees at the show. I have since designed a water feature for the Idaho Botanical Garden children's garden that will reflect this design coming soon in 2010

20' x 30' pallet of carpet transformed in three days.

A well known concept for retaining walls turned into something aesthetic, functional and sustainable.

Gambion baskets filled with Boise River cobble, piped with emerging water and catch basin to provide privacy and cover sound for an intimate patio setting.

Flagstone bench with Gambion basket base.

Natural blue stone tumbled pavers.

Tulips and Azaleas for color, variegated foliage accents of Cypress and Sedges, River Birch focal point and Photinia backdrop all above a Basalt dry stack and boulder hardscape.

DAVIS RESIDENCE

Design, Installation and Project Management by Bill Vander Pol

This was an amazing new construction installation in Eagle, Idaho.I had the privilege to install and manage everything that touched the outside of the home and property line.We started with Boise River rock and sand importing hundreds of yards of topsoil and road mix to gain the elevations that soon made up spaces of strategically placed stucco retaining walls and fluid patios, enhancing the uniquely beautiful architecture of the home that was designed by the homeowner and Architect Julia Davis. It was topped with a simplistic planting pallet that would maintain a feel for the natural as well as architectural style.

Front Entry.... swirl finish colored concrete with San Francisco Cobble paver accents.

Backyard Patio View.... Three Rivers flagstone accents and Coolaroo shade sail.

Water Feature....natural boulder falls

Sport Pool.....20'x 30' pearl blue quartz bottom with oatmeal buff concrete deck and automatic cover.
