LANDSCAPE
DESIGN & INSTALLATION
<>
With
this new construction home, there were some landscaping plants
and
hardscapes that needed to be reused. The customer wanted to add some
color and find some way of softening the vertical lines of the house.
To
help soften the vertical lines, we installed curved ornamental knee
walls to the front of the house to give a courtyard feeling, and
installed pavers to provide a seating area. Perennials and blooming
shrubs will give color to the landscape during the spring, summer, and
fall, while low growing evergreens will provide winter interest.
Lighting was installed into the walls, and lights along the walkway to
give visitors plenty of light at night.

The customer
had lived in this house for 15 years and wanted to freshen
it up. This was going to be their retirement house, so they wanted to
completely remove everything and start over from scratch.
For
the front
yard, a new entry into the house was proposed, along with
extending their porch. A new planter was installed next to the
front door along with raised planter beds. The new walk is 12 feet wide
at the
driveway and narrows down to 5 foot in the middle. Plantings were
installed to give the landscape year round color. The trees were
installed to soften the house and provide early spring color. Low
voltage lighting was installed to accent and light up the walkway.

The
landscape
for this house was installed 12 years prior to our
arrival. The walkway to the front door was 2 feet off the garage and
was straight. There were overgrown evergreens that made it hard to get
through from the driveway, let alone see it from the street. The front
door was covered up by overgrown burning bush, and the plantings needed
to be pruned 2-3 times per year to keep from overgrowing the walkway.
In
the after
picture you'll see that the walkway now is wider, and
further away from the house. It is 8' wide at the driveway and the
entire
width of the porch. A lamp post was installed as well as lights along
the walkway. Grass now goes upto the walk to allow for access to the
yard. Blooming shrubs and perennials allow for summer long color and
evergreens for winter interest. The walkway now allows for people to
walk in comfort to the front door and is visible from the street.

This
back yard was
just lacking substance. The 3 season room was recently put on as well
as the fenced in deck. There was a swale that went diaginal to the
house in the patchy area of this before picture.
In
the after
photo you can see that the swale area was turned into a
dry creek bed with a wooden bridge crossing it. There is also a
stepping stone path going through the planter bed leading from the
driveway to the back door of the room addition. Plants that grow
naturally along stream beds were installed. These plants will add color
from early spring through fall. A tree was also planted to
give the area shade.
