Private Notes
Jake and Joel Moss take backyard gardening to a new level in a farm-to-table inspired backyard. A beefy pergola with a garden roof looks down on a massive outdoor kitchen complete with butcher-block countertops and a gourmet barbecue. Vertical planters made from recycled pallets explode with fresh herbs that provide the perfect compliment to this cooks' paradise. A custom dining table made from reclaimed wood looks out on a sea of raised industrial planter beds housing everything from insect-repelling flowers to fresh fruits and vegetables to create a truly sustainable living space.
Jake and Joel Moss turn a massive blank slate of a yard into an outdoor lounge inspired by the homeowners' love for wine and entertainment. Three wine bottle walls provide the perfect amount of privacy to enjoy the terraced barbecue station and wine bar. A contemporary fire bowl sits atop a patio of pavers interwoven with artificial turf to lend to the modern feel. Modular planters, ample seating and rustic landscaping bring a taste of wine country to the backyard.
Jake sees bathtubs, Joel sees plants. Doug sees a pergola that looks like France. A yard that begins as nothing but dirt and damaged flagstone is completely transformed with an eco-friendly deck covered by a pergola wrapped in carved pilasters, a travertine firebox, rustic stenciled pews and a large sandblasted dining table illuminated by a blingy chandelier. Dog-friendly synthetic turf lends a pop of color to the scene, while the claw foot tub water feature set atop the repurposed pavers provides a perfect splash of serenity.
After five minutes inside this home, Jake and Joel realize it's all modern design and relaxation for this couple. The Moss brothers create a new backyard with zen-like planters, which flank a tranquil, backlit water feature that sits atop a new composite deck. Metal walls act as privacy screens for the custom built benches that surround a bright, new fire feature. Light towers and lush landscaping lead the way to an inviting spa that rounds out this modern relaxation zone.
Yardcore goes lakeside to get the Blog Cabin party started the second guests step off the boat. They turn a blasé boardwalk and boat dock into an upscale club setting that boasts cantilevered platforms studded with flowy native palms, a custom bar island faced with plantation-style shutters set on top of locally raised cypress stumps, a second-floor open deck with statuesque Ipe railing and hand-built Adirondack lounge chairs, and floating hammocks set over a party platform that sports a big-screen television.
Jake and Joel Moss use a peacock theme to bring some wild life to a backyard. A metal feather-plumed kegerator bar and a massive stylized peacock pergola create a striking focal point. A new lawn area surrounded by a lush border of colorful shrubs and flowers combined with a metal fire pit creates a relaxing ground-level party spot.
The Moss brothers take inspiration from the homeowners Pacific Island heritage to completely transform their backyard. A custom redwood deck looks out onto a traditional Hapa shade structure featuring meticulous carved posts that sit on a scored concrete patio. Unique privacy walls features art panels inspired by tribal warriors. A redwood bench wrapped around an existing tree and drought tolerant native landscaping finishes off the yard.
Jake and Joel clue in on the homeowners love of all things travel to bring some international intrigue into a bland backyard. This midcentury modern design starts with a retro-style lounge topped by a stunning gold-metal sunburst pergola. Supporting the pergola is a huge lodge-pole ringed with jack-leg chairs and an antiqued Old World map table. A brick patio, custom benches, a custom art wall and a one-of-a kind steel globe fire feature finish off the yard.
Two art professionals who've created a masterpiece on the interior of their home will turn their backyard over to the Moss brothers for a complete overhaul. The crew cranks out all kinds of geometric shapes to bring an artsy, Cubist feel to the space. The scene includes sculptural monolithic walls that frame in a three-sided bench faced in copper. A flagstone patio outlined in moss plantings becomes home to three Cubist water features with reclaimed seat surrounds, while the entire picture is enclosed with unique minimalist plantings that add to the drama of the stunning setting.
Jake and Joel Moss kick up the cowboy cool starting with a lofty threshing wheel fire feature nestled in a stunning sunken conversation pit studded with railroad ties. A vast outdoor kitchen features a stone-studded barbecue station and an extra-long dining island capped in copper. The design is rounded out with a redwood skeet shooting deck that cantilevers over the grand valley.
The Moss brothers take their inspiration for this backyard makeover from the faraway land of Nepal. The result is a gathering spot for family and friends underneath a super-high pitched roof pergola adorned in festive paint and curved headers, a beefy Old World square table with sturdy matching bench stools, a huge stacked-stone terraced garden brimming with flowers and herbs, chicken coops roofed in cedar and an extra-long, two-tiered barbecue island with a drop-in grill.
The Moss brothers find their inner zen and bring a much-needed sense of calm to a hectic backyard. The outdoor oasis is centered around a namaste retreat, complete with a lotus-shaped fire feature floating on a tranquil pool and surrounded by concrete yoga dome seating. Across the yard sits a retro lounge with a slatted wall for privacy, a roof terrace covered in artificial turf and a new concrete block bar. To add to the period feel, the yard is finished off with vibrant plants and surrounded by red lava rock.
The Moss brothers take on a midcentury modern makeover in the style of the home's architecture. The yard is huge and the design is overly ambitious for two-day makeover. They build an oversized bamboo composite deck and then add large timber walls with shelves and a vertical slatted backdrop, a brick fire feature with a stainless steel hood, uber-long brick planters and a bird lover's dream of a water feature complete with two sandhill cranes frolicking in the pond.
