Natural flagstone is dry set in an irregular pattern with planted joints to help soften the overall appearance. The flagstone terraces weave around the trees, creating separate outdoor rooms for entertaining, dining, or lounging on a hammock. Boulders placed throughout the garden, provide terracing between patios and create sculptural supports for the grill. As part of the boulder terraci… - [Guest House Cottage Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guest-house-cottage-garden-pj-vj~357894) - Location: Quakertown, PA - Photos: 17 - [Farmhouse Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-garden-pj-vj~1289245) - Location: New Hope, PA - Photos: 12 - Description: Dear Garden Associates worked closely with the homeowner and builder to create gardens that reflect the homeowner’s taste and compliment the architecture of the home. Curving boulder walls were installed throughout the gardens to create a series of terraces, address grading issues, and protecting large trees. Pathways and steps of large irregular flagstone provide access around the home and through various gardens of fragrant seasonal plantings. Path and tree lights extend the use of the gardens… - [Garden at Peddler's Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-at-peddler-s-village-pj-vj~968859) - Location: New Hope, PA - Photos: 12 - Description: Dear Garden will be featuring our expertise at Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA this year.

A new entrance garden was designed to reflect the architecture of the home through the use of dry set flagstone walks with tight joints. These accessible walks meander around large tree roots to provide handicap ramps to the front door and lower area of the house. Unique 4” thick bluestone benches with bevel cuts to reflect the angles of the home act as open… - [Log Cabin Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/log-cabin-retreat-pj-vj~268006) - Location: Upper Bucks County, PA - Photos: 22 - [Pool Garden and Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-garden-and-deck-pj-vj~831075) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This garden includes features such as new terrace and deck spaces surrounded by walls which include a water feature, new pool decking, plantings and lighting. The goals of the project were to create a larger more useful raised living space as an extension of the house, situate the hot tub in a more appropriate location, and simplify the lines of the pool while creating seating areas adjacent to the water while using plant materials to create interest and a sense of space. For the dining portion… - [Contemporary Pool Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-pool-garden-pj-vj~848859) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Pool Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-renovation-pj-vj~831157) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This garden features redesigning a pool deck and surrounding gardens to provide better flow and more usable spaces. An open pool house with a built in kitchen sets a new destination for lounging by the pool. Brick walls define a raised terrace next to the home where one can enjoy the garden while being separated from the pool traffic. The prior pool decking of concrete pavers was replaced with travertine. This slip resistant, natural stone stays cool in the sun and has a pristine look that is mo… - [Bucks County Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bucks-county-garden-pj-vj~846991) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: This Bucks County garden features terraces, walls, and plantings that were coordinated with renovations to the existing house, barn, and pool.

The layered mass of plant clusters can be seen from a distance while one can also… [See all 23 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/dear-garden-associates-inc-pfvwus-pf~1225241251) ## Ideabooks - [deargarden's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/26595650/list/deargarden-s-ideas) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/deargarden) ## Community Q&A **Q: Stone** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of beautiful stones is this?
