This project turned the old embankment which was covered with dying Junipers into a functional space without sacrificing aesthetics.

The goal of this landscape design and build project was to mitigate run-off from a steep hillside as well as to beautify the front foundation planting at a condo complex in South Boston. This design features a traditional approach to the front walkway using a mix of evergreen and deciduous shrubs, an oramental weeping tree, and a mix of perennials. Along the slope, our approach was to utilize a mix of grasses to hold soil and also to create swathes of color during the Fall season. Designed and built by Skyline Landscapes, LLC.

Custom landscape design with outdoor kitchen, sitting area, and solid roof cabana by Southern Landscape. The entire project was constructed by leveling a severe slope with a concrete block retaining wall.

The homeowners built their barn to be more than a simple outbuilding. In addition to storing vehicles and equipment, it's decked out with space for having fun and entertaining. The landscape continues the party, providing additional gathering space while maintaining access for trailers and other large vehicles.
