The sun drenched backyard becomes quiet and still as darkness envelops it at night. The landscape for this property in Dover, MA needed to create shelter from the harsh sunlight during the day, and respectfully provide a space to gather at night among the oak and pine forest. The custom pergola filters sunlight by day, and provides ambiance for outdoor dining at night, where a crackling fire dances in the fire pit. The deck is intercepted by a curved bluestone walkway, patio and framed with custom planters. The outdoor grill area boasts a Caledonia counter top and veneer ledge stone surround.
