Luxury Outdoor Spa Landscape Design in Santa Rosa, CA
This Santa Rosa landscape design by Olga Stritar transforms the backyard into a sophisticated outdoor spa retreat designed for relaxation and entertaining. Positioned to capture sweeping views of the valley and city below, the design embraces a minimal planting approach while focusing on architectural hardscape elements that create a dramatic outdoor living environment.
The landscape features a luxurious spa, a swimming pool with a fountain wall, and a sunken fire pit lounge, creating multiple spaces for gathering and unwinding. Fire-resistant materials were carefully selected throughout the design to meet local safety requirements while maintaining a refined and contemporary aesthetic.
By combining panoramic views, elegant hardscape, and thoughtful spatial planning, the project demonstrates how a backyard can become a private wellness retreat that enhances both lifestyle and property value.

Inspiration + Goal
This striking three-story home in Santa Rosa, CA, located in a fire-prone area of wine country, was redesigned to enhance both safety and curb appeal. The landscape project was commissioned by a broker seeking to increase the property’s value and market appeal for a successful and timely sale.
The Outcome
The design transforms the backyard into a refined outdoor retreat that fully embraces the spectacular views of the valley and city below. By treating the panoramic scenery as an extension of the landscape itself, the design intentionally minimizes planting and instead emphasizes a bold and elegant hardscape composition.
At the heart of the space, a luxurious backyard spa and swimming pool with a striking fountain wall create a focal point for relaxation and entertainment. A sunken fire pit lounge offers a cozy gathering space, inviting residents and guests to enjoy evenings outdoors while taking in the dramatic surroundings.
Because the property is located in a fire-hazard area of Santa Rosa, the landscape was carefully designed to meet strict fire-safe requirements. All materials used throughout the project are fire-resistant and fire-safe, ensuring that the space not only feels sophisticated and welcoming but also provides long-term safety and resilience.
The result is a modern outdoor living environment that balances breathtaking views, luxurious amenities, and fire-conscious design, creating a backyard that feels both spectacular and secure.
