Client:

Ric Hendricks led the exterior remodel of this Lake Tahoe residence, focusing on upgrading the yard and incorporating a range of client-requested features. The project included concept design, construction documents, and permitting with the city and TPRA.

The design takes full advantage of the lake views, orienting the outdoor kitchen toward the water. Natural stone paving complements the earthy color palette of the home and grounds, providing a strong foundation for the large outdoor kitchen. The space includes a built-in barbecue, firepit, double beer taps, refrigerator, full sink, and granite countertops, all designed to celebrate the lakeside setting.

Additional features include a large spa and a flagpole, installed per the client’s requests. Despite challenges with plumbing and gas line installation, the final landscape successfully balances functionality, aesthetics, and the client’s vision, creating a welcoming and picturesque outdoor living space.
