design: Studio TOOP, 2008 location: Amersfoort, NL status: built in 2010, Vaate Hoveniers and DIY photos: Jolanthe Lalkens, 2012 This design is based on a series of concentric circles in alternating benches and walls. This makes the garden graphically interesting from above and allows for a large amount of integrated seating (both important criteria for the design). Contrasting with this clean graphic element is the rough texture of the broken cement pavers and the organic lines of the planting beds. The existing field maple is used as a focal point and gives the garden an intimate, mature quality. Despite that there is only one tree, the garden feels somehow like the woods.

Wildflower Meadow
Design ideas for a landscaping in Boston for spring.

This property had many existing trees that we wanted to include in the landscape design. Extensive rock walls, boulders and stone walkway around all the plantings.

Slopes were regraded and stabilized with a single timber retaining wall. Previous overgrown shrubs were replaced with a diverse blend of deep-rooted and drought resistant prairie plants. Formecology, LLC
