Design ideas for a rustic landscaping in Charlotte.

Beside an existing paver patio, a large rain garden filled with shade and water loving Pacific Northwest native plants were installed that the dry stream bed and the lawn drains into. As the native shrubs mature, the fence will be softened and extra privacy will be given from the neighbors. A river rock border encircles the rain garden and it's lined with a steel edging to keep the stone in place. A new paver brick walkway was designed to lead off of the existing patio and to connect with the back yard deck.

This creek bed is different from our norm. It was inspired by the metaphorical creek beds seen in some Japanese gardens. Small pieces of flagstone were set on end in polymeric sand to mimic the rapid and sometimes chaotic flow of water over rapids and around boulders. Photo by Jay Sifford.

These clients had tried multiple times to grow grass in their shaded back yard. We encouraged them to try artificial turf. It looks great! It's no maintenance, no watering, fertilizing, weeding. Just blow it off. We also added a dry creek bed for water management and some low stone walls for accents, as well as shade loving planting.
