This modern family home sits atop stone ledges overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The newly constructed home is a contemporary shingle style with a twist of Vermont country. The first floor is anchored by a family style eat-in kitchen adjoining an open floor plan that takes advantage of the panoramic views of the Atlantic. The second floor is comprised of three junior suites and a master suite with a balcony. The three car garage, play room above and in-law suite in the basement complete the interior of the home. The approach up the driveway provides a glimpse of the dramatic ocean views through a passageway between the house and mature arborvitae. A series of retaining walls undulating from the ocean facing elevation creates gathering areas at different levels as the lot slopes downward toward the stone ledge. Photo Credit: Eric Roth

A simple dwarf crepe myrtle planted in between the large tree and the utility pole will fill in the space nicely without blocking the view of the rest of the yard.

Patio - mid-sized traditional backyard stone patio idea in Boston with a fireplace

Mixed planting of feather reed grass 'Karl Foerster', russian sage, and juniper 'blue pacific' contrast a row of arborvitae 'green giant' and 'spring grove'. Limelight hydrangea peeks over the top of the grasses in the background.

A fantastic view looking the opposite direction of previous shots. All of these fine flowers are irrigated by an underground, fully-automated sprinkler system. What you don't see, is that they also lay atop a fully functional septic field as well! Photography by: Joe Hollowell

Before- Notice the square block of concrete near the middle right side of picture. This is the client's septic clean out. She wanted a way to hide this while still providing access to the system below.

The backyard pool was void of any landscaping around the perimeter of the fencing. Arborvitae, Lilacs, Hydrangea, Boxwood, Spirea, Hibiscus, Forest Pansy Redbuds and Hosta were planted to help screen out the surrounding houses and electric pools.

After- We built a custom cedar planter box over the septic. A recessed removable lid provides access to the clean out below. Permeable pavers were installed in a random pattern around the planter box to add some interest to the yard.
