Looking up the new driveway towards the street. 'Green Giant' Arborvitae screen the neighbor's property from view and will mature to conceal the utility lines overhead. Boulders found on site were utilized to make walls for a larger parking area. Photo by Susan Sotera

Front yard landscaping with stone border

Limestone tiles in the interior space, surrounded by custom-cut slab pieces of limestone and marble make up the border. Materials Used - Portuguese Limestone/ Honed Finish (Tiles & Custom Slab Exterior) - Italian Brown Marble "Cafe Bruno" (Custom Slab Exterior)

A no-grass solution, where big trees make it hard to grow grass. This garden has close to no flowers, but tons of color, provided by uniquely colored foliage. The border is custom concrete curbing.

Lush plantings surround the pavers that curve and lead to the pool area. Beyond that is the lawn and tucked away in the trees are the accessory building, sport court, and outdoor shower. Throughout the landscape, we mixed formality with touches of whimsy -- spiral topiary boxwood, bright dashes of colorful flowers, contrasting textures. When we teamed up with this young family for a renovation, we created an outdoor space satisfying the needs of all the members of their family.
