Landscape Architect and Landscape Designer Values:
Any given Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer may have a different approach, but Landscape Designer and Landscape Contractor, Brett Berry of Berry Outdoor Living creates living areas that feel connected to the home. As a Landscape Designer and Landscape Contractor working with a Landscape Architect, we try to create the space so it feels relaxed. It should feel like it's been in place with the home for years and not an "add-on".
As a Landscape Contractor that merges old and new construction into the landscape design, the goal is to build a space people want to spend time, whether at the bar of the outdoor kitchen, fire pit, patio, or covered porch. When a space becomes a large part of the homeowners' daily life, a Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer, or Landscape Contractor, knows a project has been completed with excellence. I work closely with a Landscape Architect through the design process to ensure the space has the correct "feel".
A Landscape Architect and Landscape Designer must design the space to flow from the inside of the home out. The patio and outdoor living space feels like an extension of the home, or another "room" of the home and feels wrapped with fresh, low-maintenance landscaping.
In Kansas City patio, and landscaping design, there is a clear trend toward a cleaner, more defined look influenced by a more modern era viewpoint that values a non-cluttered look and feel. So, as a Landscape Contractor, in our circle of clients, we've seen a definite shift toward cleaner, artisan-crafted backyards and fewer "boxy", shrub-heavy yards. A Landscape Architect with a keen sense designs this effect.

You can't see the size of this water feature with the life-sized bear sculpture catching a fish! See in a very natural 17 acre estate, we had to work hard to blend the husband's affinity with nature and the wife's love of little spots to sit and visit with friends or sip coffee in the morning. What emerged was a functional, small flagstone patio (see the seat in the back); some colorful pots placed around the garden. The space tended to be more functional, with large patios and walks closer to the home and more natural with the landscaping becoming more lush the further away from the home. This is the spot where the two meet.

Part two of the "classic" job. The time period radius steps were a major feature leading from the bluestone patio down to the lawn. This yard is now heavily planted and completely gorgous! I need a new picture. :)

There are jobs that have classic features, but this job is classic in every sense. My client had planned and thought about this project for years prior to building it. It's modeled closely after a 200+ year old famous garden on the east coast. So, we used bluestone and salvaged 100 year old column finials and very traditional iron work. The plantings were all very scaled, but consecutional in nature and not cottage-like. The wall in the back also features a wall-mount water feature with a copper scupper and mill-stone. I loved the amount of precision required for this job and the incredible amount of detail. My client was incredibly particular and also very gracious and great at communicating detail. It still takes my breath away as you walk through the gates and around to the gorgous living space.

Very special client. This viniette is a nice surprise you encounter as you round a path. Japanese Iris belies the watery pond at the feet of the barefoot girl; subtle splashing sound to relax you. Incredibly strong large granite in the background segways to the Japanese-influenced back yard.
