In this day and age of more is more, it's refreshing to see a less is more approach to landscape design.

Orange Street Studio has taken this route to modern landscape design with stunning outcomes. Here are a few of their residential projects with many more photos at there web site. This is doable and affordable modern landscaping.

The Falling Water Fountain is sharp looking and comes in this great blue but can be special ordered in other colors. It has a universal appeal that is modern, Zen, and would even fit in a traditional designed space.
