A Home Wrapped in Gardens

The Brief

  • The client wanted to make more use of the space surrounding their house in addition to the back yard

    • We added a sitting area just outside the main master bedroom

    • Redesigned the space on the left side of the house to feature a dining area, lounge seating, and a lounge nook right off the guest room.

  • The back deck increased in size to accommodate a small outdoor kitchen and a covered metal roof

  • Add new pathways connecting all the spaces

  • Establish a water feature in the front yard

  • Create a shady woodland effect in both front yard spaces

  • Add more curb appeal utilizing the parking strips

  • Reduced the size of the lawn and converted it to an eco lawn

  • Added a pad for the existing hammock and chairs

    • Created an enclosed area around the hammock to feel more relaxed while adding privacy

    • This space may also convert into a firepit area in the future

  • Designated an enclosed garbage can area

  • Added more privacy in the front yard using screens and vines

  • The planting palette was selected to provide season-long color, support pollinators, thrive in woodland shade conditions, create native backyard habitat, and deliver year-round interest with strong winter structure.
