Making the Best of a Forgotten Space

Traditional Landscape, Philadelphia

Wrapping around the back corner of the home, past the pool house, a stepping stone path meanders through a perennial garden. Behind the fence panels on the left are the AC units. The natural grade of the side yard has been used to best effect with the inclusion of a low retaining wall. The change in elevation within the space, the perennials and shrubs planted both high and low help to balance the view which includes the AC enclosure. The location of the wall curves towards the enclosure creating a "pinch point" gateway.
