An artificial lawn and eco decking ensures this space requires minimal upkeep. The checker board paving stones and minimal planting results in a very stylish space.
Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates
The garden was designed to be enjoyed from ground level and from the balcony above --- with an eyeful of joyous color that suits the client's personality to a tee. Plantings include lots of roses from her "favorite roses" list, with perennials and a few annuals to knit it all together. It can be very challenging to make a collection of plants into a cohesive and delightful garden --- and the strong structure of this garden does just that!
Virtuoso Landscape Design Limited
The client wanted to extend her living space outside. With an all weather pergola and luvered roof with heaters we creating an outside room with lush planting. The new deck is at the same level as the floor in the house so the two spaces feel connected. The deck continues around the side of the house where there is a private area for a spa which is not over looked. The custome made horizontal slatted fence gives a contempory feel and was painted black so that it wasn't too obtrusive.
Mom's Design Build
This backyard is nestled on a popular lake. We added a private beach, stunning stacked retaining walls, an ipe deck, outdoor kitchen, bluestone patio and stunning year round landscaping. The tiered landscape complements the new construction home and maximizes the usable space of the yard.
DreamScapes
Our client in Emerson has a beautiful home, perched on a magnificent mountain slope with incredible views. They asked Dreamscapes to design outdoor living spaces for them in order to fully utilize the property. Their wish list included a water feature, a deck for outdoor living, a patio to take in the distant views of the mountains, a place to garden, and a natural and native planting design to fit into the existing southeastern native woodlands and mountain environment.
Living on the side of a mountain means bedrock. The design incorporates the natural slope and stone and works with the terrain. A new deck was constructed to extend out from the house, floating over the bedrock where it meets the new pond. From the top of the hill, a waterfall cascades down through the native plantings into the pond below. Natural boulders were used to build seating along the pond’s edge, where you can watch the fish, tend to the aquatic plants, listen to the frogs, and even take a dip to cool off.
Two natural flagstone patios were built at two different elevations to sit and enjoy the views of the landscape and the mountains. Both patios are accessible by cut stone crab orchard steps set into the slope.
The space at the end of the driveway was a blank canvas and the perfect place to design and build a garden of raised beds, enclosed in a traditional picket fence. It is now filled with vegetables, herbs, and cutting flowers. The local bees and butterflies love it too.
And the beautiful landscape takes on a magical look after sunset. Landscape lighting was expertly placed, using a variety of fixture types to enhance the pond, waterfalls, trees and plants, bringing the spaces to life after dark.
The homeowners are both multi-talented and wanted a place to incorporate their skills. They create original art, build detailed wood work and plant edible gardens, just to name a few. This new landscape gives them and their family and friends a place to work and play and relax. It has become a haven for people and wildlife alike. Outdoor living at its finest!
