I consider this one of my “marquee” projects because there were no budgetary limitations to my vision. I said that I design like Mother Nature would if she were a landscape designer in the Lowcountry…I also design as if I lived at the property myself. If I lived at this property, this is the exact yard I would have, minus the driveway. (I would have used a driveway material/color that better harmonized with the landscaping…but they wanted this light-colored concrete, and the customer is always right.)

In addition to being breathtakingly beautiful, the homeowners can save their breaths because I used native plants that are best suited for the property…the yard hardly needs any maintenance at all, regardless of the season. Like most of the properties I design, this one is comprised of nothing but plants that Mother Nature “made” especially for the Lowcountry. (I use native, low-maintenance plants nearly exclusively in all of my projects.)

The house is modern, but the same landscape design would look great surrounding an old Lowcountry “country house”, with a darker driveway of course. As you’ll see in the last photo I showcase on this page (from a self-serve car wash of all places), my designs can harmonize basically any man-made structure with the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Lowcountry, regardless of how alien that structure is to the native environment. https://lowcountryvistas.com/native-low-maintenance-landscape-design-projects/
