Turtle Lake Project

Working carefully around existing pool and pergola, this renovation project blends rich details with imaginative design solutions. The specific challenges of the pie-shaped lot and neighboring wetland and floodplain were addressed early and inspired design decisions throughout the process. Carefully-articulated details make this project a truly unique work of art.
Turtle Lake Entry Court
A driveway and large entry court laid with cobblestones reclaimed from the streets of Philadelphia and bordered with charcoal granite cobblestones recall a romantic past.

Beyond, lush masses of limelight hydrangeas, Russian sage, and Shenandoah grasses spill over the cool stone and create a tapestry of color to ease the transition from the formal terrace into the natural wetlands beyond. Photo Credit: George Dzahristos

In the rear, a multi-level garden offers moments to appreciate the formal and natural beauty of the space.
