The whimsical Fringe trees mingle gracefully with the sweeping curve of the backyard plant beds. Lush boxwood are the perfect compliment to hydrangeas and roses and are easy to maintain.

This is an example of a transitional partial sun front yard gravel garden path in DC Metro for summer.

To the west of the driveway, boxwood hedges, white peonies, white shrub rose, and red barberry border a gravel pathway that leads the homeowners to the rose garden which holds a sentimental value.

Did you know that this Wilmette estate originated as a “Sister Estate”? The father built both neighboring homes for his two daughters, therefore making them “sister” homes. Where to start with this garden gem of Wilmette? The front walk and entry foyer are made up of clay brick pavers, with clean and elegant front foundations plantings. Bluestone terraces on the side and back of the home offer a dramatic view of the sunken rose garden. A sweeping bed softens the back perimeter, along with multi-layered beds of plants and flowers offering seasonal interest. The sightline to the “sister house” was maintained with a series of rose covered arbors lining the quilt work of the bluestone steppers, that take you to a rock lined stream. The sunken rose garden is the real treat here… The Formal and elegant garden is the finishing touch to a magnificent landscape. A formal garden space is bordered by a chipped bluestone gravel path and boxwood hedge.

Duel patios create special areas for entertainment or quiet time.
Patio - traditional patio idea in Detroit

Clipped boxwood defines a shaded border layered with ferns, caladiums and broad-leaved foliage. A stone bench provides a quiet stopping point beside the lawn, while the planting adds texture beneath the tree canopy.

This beautiful driveway design was inspired by our Linea and Villagio pavers! Our linea can achieve high contrast looks by mixing linear neutrals with dark banding or by mixing high textured surfaces with smooth surfaces, displaying a trendy, new aesthetic of sleek with a twist. Our Villagio paver can easily be the main-field of focus in your beautiful outdoor living space or can easily be installed as a decorative banding like on this driveway design! Both are great for driveways, patios, walkways or even outdoor kitchens and are available in numerous colors, allowing you to express your own unique style!

In deliberate contrast to the home’s midcentury modern aesthetic, the client wanted to add an eclectic, cottage-inspired perennial border. Layered against the structured boxwood hedge, this planting strategy softens the landscape while adding depth, texture, and seasonal variation.
