Client Testimonial

​"Purlieu Landscapes did a great job with our backyard design. They helped us with two pieces: 1) a full design of our entire 1-acre property broken out into several smaller projects so that we could tackle them over time and 2) fully completing one of the projects for us. They did an excellent job with both.

For the project we took on first, Purlieu created a beautiful design for a previously empty part of our yard. Off of our master bedroom, it is now a nice retreat featuring natural rock hardscaping, colorful planting, and a hot tub. The Purlieu team did a great job planning, executing, and communicating throughout the project. I highly recommend their work!"

From Concept to Concrete: A Hillside Transformation in San Luis Obispo

Just below High School Hill in San Luis Obispo, we recently transformed a steep, underutilized backyard into a layered, functional outdoor space. The design focused on maximizing usable area within a tight, uniquely shaped lot rooted in xeriscaping principles for a low-maintenance, climate conscious result.

With help from our sister company, Purlieu Concrete, we built a custom staircase and retaining wall that doubles as a water feature, strategically placed to be enjoyed from the living room. The project also includes a hillside spa, a lounge space with a view, and easy access to the client's herb garden and orchard.
​
This space is a true reflection of thoughtful design, intentional grading, and custom craftsmanship, bringing beauty and function together in a unique setting.

Crafting a Custom 3-Tiered Water Feature in Templeton, CA

Picture
At our core, we believe thoughtful design and craftsmanship can shape how a space is used and experienced. One of our current projects in Templeton, California is a great example of that - a custom, three-tiered cylindrical water feature that’s been designed and built in-house.

This feature sits in a shaded redwood garden, surrounded by ferns and filtered light. It was intentionally placed near a custom fire pit, and its cylindrical form mirrors the shape of that fire element to create visual balance and cohesion between the two.
The structure itself is made from integral colored concrete, giving it a clean, natural tone that complements its surroundings. We’ve lined the lower basin with natural stone and pencil tile, which brings subtle texture and movement once the water is flowing.

​This project is part of a full design-build scope we’ve had the opportunity to lead, from early layout studies to detailed construction. We’ve also implemented a custom pergola and planted garden spaces that work together to ground the water feature within the site. While the project is still in progress, this piece is already helping to define the space in a quiet, intentional way. We’ll be sharing more soon as the finishing touches come together! Thanks for taking the time to read our blog. ​
