AFTER--Viewed from the entry stairs and from within the home this area is now an attractive entry. At night the 3 silver spheres light up and shine onto the glass 'leaves'. Vertical metal 'trellises link the stairs and the ground with climbing Star Jasmine vines. The scene pulls the eye away from the shady areas under the stairs. The lower retaining wall is steel clad.

Location: Cohasset, MA, United States This elegant property has gorgeous views of the harbor, with sweeping stone walls that create a terraced effect. Since the house was a warm beige, I felt a bold red would really bring it to life, mixed with burgundy foliage and big, dramatic grasses. Hay Scented Fern, Solomon's Seal and Hellebore create a dense, naturalistic ground cover along this slope at the bottom on a ledge cliff.

A beautiful enclosed courtyard with a perfect set of constraints. A serviceberry tree breaks up a concrete wall and a steel planter is very present but is efficient in scale leaving room for a a path between the house and the garage and a small patio.
