Saturday, August 8, 11:00am to 12:30pm | Englewood | Pondbank House by Herb Schaal, FASLA, with architect Don Ruggles of Ruggles Mabe Terrell Architecture, landscape contractor Philip Steinhauer of Designscapes, and general contractor Jeff Barnett of J.K. Barnett, Ltd. In keeping with the grand Palladian architectural style of the Pondbank House, the landscape architect has created an impressive series of complementary Mediterranean garden spaces using local stone for terracing and High Plains adapted plants. In addition to a kitchen and cutting garden and diverse planting schemes featuring over 250 species, there are many delightful pieces of garden art and creative garden details. Decorative fountain walls distribute roof and storm drainage to terraced plantings. An infinity lawn edge creates a “ha-ha” effect from the pool terrace to the borrowed landscape in the distance. A lovely moon gate leads to a secluded Japanese-style spa garden, an “aromabo” for contemplative relaxation and outdoor aromatherapy. And a shallow water basin in the strolling garden is positioned to reflect the rising moon. Photo by Emily Minton Redfield

Custom Moon Gate
Inspiration for a farmhouse landscaping in San Francisco.

I love building Moon Gates for an almost spiritual reason. We build these using clear western red cedar or California redwood. I’ve installed 4 in my local San Diego area and beyond, and we’ve shipped at least 8 Kits nationally, and one to France last Summer

A Moon Gate penetrates the large cedar wall and provides a welcoming entrance into the garden.
Inspiration for an eclectic landscaping in Seattle.

Boulder steppers and dry laid irregular bluestone pavers form a walkway that leads you to the rear yard with an inviting gate and arbor with an Asian flare.

Oriented East-West to frame the rising and setting of the moon, the custom steel and cedar moon gate frames the water feature and studio space within.
