See how landscape architect Joel Loblaw created an outdoor oasis in the city that will stand the test of time! He embraced the home’s traditional exterior and modern addition by transforming the dated backyard into a timeless yet on-trend hangout. Large mature trees provide ample shade, so low-maintenance shrubbery is a must, while a post and beam arbor connects the two seating areas. Plus, Joel shares how he added even more privacy with a dark-stained fence and foliage for a clean-lined, modern look.

I love how excited he sounds about this project 🙂 Looks great!
Looks like it could have been there for years. Well done.
Blends beautifully..
Loved this and love how simple the walkway is,its plan and simple and gives it that modern look,it’s awesome “u did that”!!!
Great design.
Love this guy's landscaping ethic!
Great Job! Looks perfect!
Great and beautifully done. It couldn't be more simple 🥰
He’s a favorite!
Would love to see more BIPOC designers/architects work!❤️
IMHO, the flagstone from before was much better. I feel that the main issue here would be creating privacy. Instead, the designers went to unnecessary expense and ridiculous catwalk (if at least they did pergola and wine over it, it would make sense).
Another fool was taken.
Beautifully done! Love the arbor concept!
The effect of black color is very big in space.
Take a shot every time he says modern 🥴
Beautiful work! What colour is the stain for the fence?
I love this guy super talented i pray he will design my yard one day.
What zone is this garden in? Thank you.
I like your comment about overdesigning.Creating a landscape in an existing shady area is a challenge.You've created a very smart,peaceful landscape.
This project compliments the modern lines of the house. Great job.
I love watching his videos even if the final outcome isn't my style. How can I hire this gentleman? Finding a real Landscape Designer or Architect is like chasing a unicorn. Anyone who pushes a lawn mower these days will call himself a landscaper.
