Entry courtyard

The main entry to the house is carefully framed by a fenced courtyard to separate the entry from the parking and street. Lath screen, trellis and pathways frame and surround the courtyard. Photo by Ian Gleadle

Lankford Associates Landscape Architects I suggest using your local materials for the construction. Western red cedar is a soft wood and resistant to rot. If there is a local product that is similar in your region I would use it. Otherwise, a hard wood from your region to build the lath and caps from. I still suggest using pressure treated timber for the in ground posts or if not pressure treated, set the posts in brackets, set in concrete.

We also have nice local stone. I do try to source close to home. I would like to see any examples of rock you export, but I have found the transportation costs are prohibitive and unless we have a client with a specific look that would only use that stone, we would probably source locally.

Scott,

Fence materials - Can you provide the wood used and details? 4x4 posts, 2x4 top and face pressure treated ? What is the span between posts and height? »
· Comment · 5 months ago
Lankford Associates Landscape Architects Hi There,

The posts are pressure treated 4x4 at 6' on center they are fascia with 1x cedar. The top cap is 2x6 cedar with a beveled top for drainage. The rails are 2x4 cedar top and bottom with a 1x4 fascia over the lath. The lath is 1x2 cedar at 6" on center. Hope this helps.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Rachel Grace to Renovation Detail: The Knee Brace
Knee braces are more than appropriate on this family farmhouse in Skagit Valley, Washington.
The straight lines become curvy as they move out from the house.
added by Billy Goodnick to Give Curb Appeal a Self-Serving Twist
By setting the front yard entrance to the side, this designer created a courtyard feeling while allowing enough space for a handsome street-side garden.
