This garden path was created next to the new master bedroom addition we designed as part of the Orr Residence renovation. The curving limestone paver path is defined by the plantings. RDM and the client selected plantings that are very happy in the shade as this part of the yard gets very little direct sunlight. Check out the rest of the Orr Residence photos as this project was all about outdoor living!

Cost? - How much did the path itself cost in materials, not labor? »
· Comment · 6 months ago
RDM Architecture The project is back far enough that it is going to be hard to find that info. Talk to a local mason or stone yard as different materials work better in different climates. Good Luck!

theora1915 WHAT IS THE BRAND OF THE SHINGLES AND ARE THEY PRE-STAINED OR PAINTED AND WHAT IS THE COLOR PLEASE.? tHANKS

Christina Kocsis Sorry Theora, 1915, I dont know the brand of clapboard used or the exact paint . Although, a little research i'm sure will get you closer to the products you need to suit your budget. . I always say buy the best you can afford, especially if you plan on staying in your home for a long time. Also, the dentil crown they used was a beautiful touch. Happy hunting and best of luck.

what stones were used for the walkway? what shrubs, planing were used along the walkway and further behind the walkway? »
· Comment · 23 months ago
RDM Architecture Sorry we didn't see there was a question. The path is all limestone pavers. The client did a lot of the planting and selection but they are all shade plants as the area get almost no direct sunlight. Hope that helps.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to A Honeymoon Cottage for Edward and Bella
The cottage should definitely have a magical garden path like this.
added by Sheila Schmitz to Magical Garden Paths
A narrow flagstone path through lush plantings turns a sideyard into a magical walkway.
added by Debra Prinzing to 8 Splendid Side Yard Designs
According to the architect, this sun-dappled side garden was created to complement a new master bedroom addition. Yes, it's a side yard, but this space is also a private garden to be viewed from indoors. The leafy tree canopy adds a sense of intimacy. The curved stone path is edged by soft shade plants and annuals — proving that you really need only a few feet of space to make a garden. And the copper birdbath placed at the foot of a mature shade tree is an inspired addition. Even winged creatures will want to visit this side garden.
