Our goal was to find the perfect place for a fountain our client found overseas. The fountain was not large enough to be placed in the middle of her very large front yard and the side yards were about to go under major construction. That led us to the creation of an interactive space left of the front door. We established a walkway of crushed red clay brick chip, red clay brick inlays and multi-dimensional clay brick edging down to a patio, the fountain’s new home. This area serves as a resting place to take in the extensive front yard and expansive English style perennial beds. There is looseness to the patio area that makes one want to spend time, yet adheres to the classic lines and formality of the house. It is now a place that our avid gardener can add small perennials and herbs to fill the nooks and crannies as she sees fit.
