Comprehensive Landscape Design
The key to Teryl’s design process is to absorb a home’s existing tone, and reflect its flow outdoors as an extension of the interior, drawing guests to the garden. Through selecting the appropriate plants, and having a keen eye for symmetry and balance, Teryl’s passion is in styling a look that speaks in the voice of her clients. “I have a deep affection for being able to provide my clients with the classic ‘California Dreaming’ reality, using the indoor and outdoor living spaces as the path. Homeowners and their guests always gravitate toward the garden or terrace if you lead the way, by making it cozy and inviting.”

Custom hardscape design
The Foundation of Outdoor Luxury
Your hardscape is the structural soul of your garden—the permanent elements that define how you move through and experience your outdoor space. At Teryl Designs, we believe hardscaping should be as organic and inviting as the plants that surround it. We specialize in creating custom stone, wood, and concrete features that don’t just sit on the land, but belong to it.
Our designs focus on the seamless transition between your home’s architecture and the natural world. Whether you are looking to install a Mediterranean-inspired stone patio, a traditional poolside retreat, or a classic winding walkway, we provide:
Artisan Masonry & Stone:
- Hand-selected materials tailored to your home’s architectural style and natural environment including brick, bluestone, cobblestone and gravel.
Structural Elegance:
- Retaining walls, terraced gardens, and custom steps that turn elevation challenges into visual masterpieces.
Landscape Lighting
Painting Your Garden with Light
A truly great garden shouldn’t disappear when the sun goes down. At Teryl Designs, we view landscape lighting as the final layer of our “framed art” approach. It’s not just about visibility; it’s about creating mood, highlighting architectural textures, and extending the life of your outdoor living spaces into the evening hours.
Our lighting designs are subtle and strategic, focusing on the “glow” rather than the source. We specialize in sophisticated techniques that enhance the natural beauty of your home, including:
Moonlighting & Canopy Grazing:
Placing fixtures high within mature trees to cast soft, natural shadows that mimic a full moon.
Architectural Highlighting:
Using precision beams to accentuate the stone textures of your hardscape and the unique silhouettes of your home.
Path & Safety Illumination:
Creating elegant, low-profile guiding lights that ensure safe passage without overwhelming the landscape’s ambiance.
Pool remodeling and new construction
The Centerpiece of Southern California Living
In Southern California, a pool is more than a place to swim—it is the visual anchor of your home and the heart of your outdoor entertaining. Whether we are reimagining an existing basin or breaking ground on a new custom build, Teryl Designs approaches pool construction with a focus on seamless integration. We believe your pool should feel like a natural extension of your home’s architecture and the surrounding landscape.
Our process combines high-end aesthetics with modern engineering to create aquatic environments that are as functional as they are breathtaking. We specialize in:
Custom Pool & Spa Design:
From sleek, modern infinity edges to traditional pools.
Artisan Surfacing & Tiling:
Hand-picked stone coping, waterline accents and pebble tech pool floors to catch California sunshine.
Modernization & Efficiency:
Upgrading older pools with energy-efficient heating, salt-water systems, and automated smartphone controls.
