A series of formal and informal garden spaces with a highly textured and rich color palette. The design includes a bluestone entertaining space, a formal rose garden and a woodland walk.
A color themed collector's garden with a wide variety of plants designed in a traditional cottage style. Separate areas include a white garden, a fragrant garden and a pink rose hedge.
An entertaining space on a family farm is surrounded by espaliered fruit trees on rich blue custom trellis work. The design was conceived to highlight the existing wood burning barbeque and maximize views to the adjacent meadows.
Stonework makes grand entrances and destinations for a renovated 1920s estate. The council circle and stone fireplace are a gathering place on the property's wooded hillside and can be viewed from the residence.
Transitions from the upper patio and steep side yards included slab steps, terraced gardens and a dry pond. The homeowner wanted a garden space that was appropriate locally but reminded him of his native Colorado.
The design incorporates a broad lawn terrace leading from the sun porch to brick and turf stairs and gardens. The custom cedar fence was designed to match an existing detail on the side of the home. The planting scheme was minimal to frame the existing views.
A total reinvention and renovation of gardens for a 1920's Tudor as they might have been. Foundation plantings, a pool enclosure and a "ruined" entry courtyard are highlights of the project.
