Concepts
Solutions
To create a simple, clean design that ties together the homeowner’s style »
- With the use of a low deck, poured-in-place pavers, and straight lines, it gives the look of long, clean lines to make the yard feel bigger
To keep upkeep low maintenance »
- A variety of trees, shrubs that need minimal maintenance, and grasses/ground cover that only needs to be cut back one time/ year
To incorporate existing plants + pond »
- We left the pond and worked out from that main focal point and kept as many mature trees as possible to retain the cozy courtyard feel
To create privacy from the carriage house »
- Tall, narrow shrubs divide the main living space with the entrance to the carriage house
To improve overall outdoor living space »
- Decking and poured-in-place pavers bring your eye out into the yard extending the use of the space and making the small backyard feel bigger
