European Style Courtyard

Garden ideas, Landscaping ideas, Contemporary Garden, Small garden, Chekerboard, Thomas Kyle Landscape Designer

This fabulous little courtyard has been elegantly designed by Thomas Kyle Landscape Design to address the need for intimacy, sophistication and functionality of his client within a limited space: 33’x22′ (11m x 7.5m). Key to making a big impact on this small yard is the stone – grass checkerboard, which uses the rules of perspective to create the illusion that the area is larger than it looks. It is nicely complemented with a beautiful ornament that becomes a focal point drawing the eye forward.

The Landscape Designers

Thomas Kyle Landscape Design
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers
Thomas Kyle has been practicing landscape design, site planning and project management for over 17 years. He received his Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of British Columbia and his Diploma in Fine Arts from the Victoria College of Art. 

He believes that the process of design requires step-by-step consultation, to clearly identify the client’s objectives and goals. He believes that these will be site, client, theme and architecturally specific. The coming together of all of these elements results in a project that truthfully reflects – and respects – both the client and their budget.
