Design ideas for a huge traditional partial sun front yard concrete paver driveway in Boston.

This house was at the bottom of a hill. Water was always an issue. We created a large swale with a drain tile at the bottom. The swale was over ten feet wide to accommodate all of the water. With the large stones on the outside and the smaller stones in the center it looks like a dry stream bed that has been there for ever. We incorporated large stepping stones to make access easier and more dramatic. Landforms Inc.

Yard was regraded and made flat so the entire yard is now usable.

This is an example of a huge traditional partial sun front yard concrete paver driveway in Boston.

This is a rain garden. We wanted to utilize the rainwater off of this expansive roof. So we installed a large rain barrel. When it gets full it overflows into this rain garden Landforms Inc.

From the street, a round rock pathway leads to a small seating area next to the water with a small fire pit. Low maintenance, drought resistant and salt tolerant plantings were used in mass and clumps. This garden has become the focus of the neighborhood with many visitors stopping and enjoying what has become a neighborhood landmark. Located on the shores of Puget Sound in Washington State.

This photo shows a series of rain gardens with connecting dry streams where a client previously had erosion and washing problems. The rain gardens help to slow the water temporarily and allow the rain water to soak in, but they do not allow standing water.

The master plan for this south-facing woodland property celebrates dramatic topography, muscular canopy trees, remnant fieldstone walls, and native stone outcroppings. Sound vegetation management principles guide each phase of installation, and the true character of the woodland is revealed. Stone walls form terraces that traverse native topography, and a meticulously crafted stone staircase provides casual passage to a gently sloping lawn knoll carved from the existing hillside. Lush perennial borders and native plant stands create edges and thresholds, and a crisp palette of traditional and contemporary materials merge––building upon the surrounding topography and site geology.
