Since the completion of the home our company has maintained this property. Originally built by a local builder as a speculation home, it was purchased by two busy professionals. Why is this important? Let's just say the clients are particular and like it when things aren't just so. Both have high level careers, travel often and expect their landscape to be pristine. Year after year our company rises to this challenge. When originally installed, the builder wanted larger plant material to provide a full and mature look. The continued growth provides a pruning challenge, especially when the client prefers a clean, neat and "compact" landscape. We continually monitor growth and hand prune accordingly, including yearly winter pruning. The backyard is particularly difficult due to the shade, moisture run-off from neighboring properties. The turf requires constant monitoring and adjustment to the irrigation system. The trees create a mess requiring clean up along with yearly power washing of the stone. While the challenges are many, the fine maintenance has led to happy clients and numerous referrals.

The inspiration for materials in the backyard draws from the recently renovated interior spaces of the kitchen and living area. The design provides a seamless transition from inside to out. The limestone patio is sized to accommodate seating and gradually leads you out into the new lawn. The line of palms will provide some privacy from the neighbors and a strong focal element from the porch. photo by Matthew Bolt Charleston Home + Design Magazine
