Kitchen - coastal kitchen idea in Jacksonville

The goal of this landscape design and build project was to create two patios in an elongated yard in Cambridge, MA. The main patio features a concrete Techoblock paver for dining and entertaining. A secondary patio made of reclaimed bluestone at the rear of the yard is set in lawn. The two spaces complement each other and are separated by a new cedar wood shed, vegetable garden, and a rose garden. Blue hydrangeas, daylilies, tall grasses and a mix of perennials make this garden an oasis near Harvard Square. Designed and built by Skyline Landscapes, LLC.

Our clients desired a landscape that complimented their contemporary, energy-efficient dream house. Reflecting the existing landscape, we added a large grove of vertical birches, underplanted with groundcovers, adjacent to the house and garage. A paving pattern using 48” square bluestone tiles move you from the front of the house through the breezeway, and onto the patio in the back where it is occasionally interrupted by trees, boulders, and groundcovers.

Already partially enclosed by an ipe fence and concrete wall, our client had a vision of an outdoor courtyard for entertaining on warm summer evenings since the space would be shaded by the house in the afternoon. He imagined the space with a water feature, lighting and paving surrounded by plants. With our marching orders in place, we drew up a schematic plan quickly and met to review two options for the space. These options quickly coalesced and combined into a single vision for the space. A thick, 60” tall concrete wall would enclose the opening to the street – creating privacy and security, and making a bold statement. We knew the gate had to be interesting enough to stand up to the large concrete walls on either side, so we designed and had custom fabricated by Dennis Schleder (www.dennisschleder.com) a beautiful, visually dynamic metal gate. The gate has become the icing on the cake, all 300 pounds of it! Other touches include drought tolerant planting, bluestone paving with pebble accents, crushed granite paving, LED accent lighting, and outdoor furniture. Both existing trees were retained and are thriving with their new soil. The garden was installed in December and our client is extremely happy with the results – so are we!

This modern new home landscaping was designed to create a bright, welcoming landscape. Splashes of fall color was attained using Mums, Kale, and Cabbage. Autumnal colors were celebrated with the use of Japanese Maple, which is up-lit to add visual distinction at night. Holland Stone pavers were laid in a herringbone pattern, with a soldier course to frame the edge for an attractive entry.

Patio - large traditional backyard brick patio idea in New York with no cover

What a striking home! This home in South Baton Rouge was designed by Cockfield-Jackson and the clients wanted a complete landscape design that would accompany the architecture of this A. Hays Town inspired home. Featured in this design are a substantial entertainment area in the rear, complete with an outdoor kitchen (built by Joffrion Construction) expansive pool with water feature wall, and a bluestone courtyard. Additionally, this home features a quaint side yard complete with brick steps leading to a bluestone courtyard with an antique sugar kettle fountain. The clients also needed options for guests to park. A circular driveway in the front provided a grand entrance, as well as ample parking for plenty of guests.

This expansive paver patio has an irregular pattern that draws in your eyes and adds energy to the design. A flowing natural flagstone patio insert adds an organic touch to the design. Plenty of room for a dining area and sitting area near the fire place.
