The young family of this newly renovated Kensington home wanted to preserve the classic home's aesthetic by incorporating plants native to Washington, DC. A mix of deciduous trees give sense of privacy around the borders of this property and perennial gardens add color and seasonal interest year round. A beautiful, lush lawn maintained for maximum enjoyment by the three small children adds beauty and functionality.

Enhancing their private backyard space with a gorgeous outdoor kitchen makes entertaining simple while a customized swing set keeps the space family friendly while layered seasonal container garden designs intensify the beauty of outdoor transitions around the wrap around porch.

This four-season landscape requires accurate pruning coordination with a light natural touch and consistent irrigation adjustments and spot seeding throughout the season creates the full lush lawn visible from the street. Establishing and maintaining proper heights and separation of plant material and trees is a critical component of keeping the native garden tidy year round.
