A painted steel gate and steel planters anchor the formal entry to this estate. While the anchoring features are masculine and bold, free flowing plant materials soften up the entry space. Synthetic lawn and gravel bands provide maintenance free interest on the ground plane. Photo by Rachel Paul Photography

The existing excavated limestone boulders were strategically repositioned to not only serve as functional components but also as visually striking features to the modified design of the dry creek pathways and planted areas. The trees are viewed as an opportunity to utilize dark Whittlesey mulch to provide contrast, water retention, and tie in to other defined beds and oak clusters on the property. The front walk is comprised of sawn limestone pavers surrounded by crushed limestone rock mulch and accented by river rock dry creek bed that follows through to the backyard. The pavers lead down to a poured-in-place concrete path that grants access to outdoor utilities and matches the driveway seamlessly.

A period correct breeze block wall was built as a backdrop to the kitchen view and an industrial charcoal corrugated metal fence completes the leitmotif and creates privacy around the property.

Replacing an existing driveway with the same 'Versailles' pattern travertine stone of the home's newly installed pathway, this front yard now looks complete. Continuity in materials and texture throughout is in noticeable contrast with the industrial grey concrete driveways that have been left as is on adjoining properties. The beautiful earth tones of the flatwork are in harmony with the home as well as the carefully selected water-wise plantings. This is the 'complete package', even in a relatively modest space!

Автор проекта: Алена Арсеньева, реализация проекта: Владимир Чичмарь. До начала ландшафтных работ на этом участке, у входа в дом заказчик реши сделать водоем. Был вырыт котлован у входа в дом площадью 8 кв. м и глубиной 1.80 м. Мы предложили другое решение, учитывая, что водоем такой маленькой площади не может успешно существовать, а превращается в яму с грязной водой. Мы предложили засыпать этот котлован для искусственного пруда, а на его месте создать сухой ручей.

With a narrow driveway and leaning concrete retaining walls, parking was a major challenge at this 1938 brick Tudor on Spokane's South Hill. Crumbling concrete stairs added another layer of difficulty, and after a particularly rough winter, the homeowners were ready for a change. The failing concrete walls were replaced with stacked boulders, which created space for a new, wider driveway. Natural stone steps offer access to the backyard, while the new front stairs and sidewalk provide a safe route to the front door. The original iron railings were preserved and modified to be reused with the new stairs.

The new driveway is designed to be permeable. A cobblestone apron makes a nice transition from public roadway to private drive. The crushed stone drive leads to a parking area paved with permeable concrete paver units.

A large, sweeping planting bed draws your eye from the street to the front of the home. Sun-loving perennials including 'Summer Beauty' allium, 'Feuerland' achillea, 'Northwind' panicum, and 'Full Moon' coreopsis add lots of color. Westhauser Photography
