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.

The house gallery hedge was adorned with Asparagus Aethiopicus; Schefflera arboricola 'Variegata'; Ixoras (varied colors: pink, yellow and white).

For this project we manufactured custom length corten steel planters to fit specific perimeter dimensions of the roof deck. The planters are 36 inches high by 24 inches wide and approximately 44 inches long. The planters sit directly on the wood decking. Also the planters are raised of the decking by one inch to allow for irrigation tubing to be routed under the metal planter box. Photography by Shawn Records
