Saturday June 20, 1:30 to 3:30pm | Ossining M. Bakwin Estate by Michael V. Ruggiero, RLA of MVR Landscape Garden Nestled among an impressive array of large rock outcrops, this Tudor-style home and garden offer panoramic views of its central ten-acre groomed landscape. From the house and terraces, visitors enjoy a vista of towering trees, spacious lawn areas, dramatic rock outcroppings, lush gardens brimming with seasonal color, a three-acre pond, orchards, and meadows. An 'integrated' deer fence protects such gardens as the vegetable garden, a Japanese style garden, and a perennial border. Forty acres of mature, deciduous forest completely enclose the property. A dense, planted understory and years of moss overgrowth carpet the forest floor and exposed rock, revealing the interplay between the designed and natural and celebrating the rugged vernacular New York landscape.

This life-size magnolia is 6-feet tall and graces the lawn of the Shaker Heights Historical Society. Artist Matthew Albright formed the tree trunk, branches and flowers by hand. This sculpture is made from materials that will resist the degradation of time and weather.

his premier hardscape and design-build project offers an escape from the city within the city. For the backyard retreat, Elite Landscaping installed natural stone pathways that lead through the wooded hillside to a secluded backyard. A custom concrete swimming pool and outdoor tennis court allow for taking full advantage of the summer sun. When the air turns cooler, flickering flames in the outdoor fireplace and remote controlled gas torches make the nights feel cozy warm. As a high-end, design-build company, Elite Landscaping created an architecturally stunning screened-in room that flaunts a custom stone fire wall and rustic beam wood ceiling. The room is designed to connect seamlessly with the beauty of nature, letting in the sounds of a tranquil waterfall just steps away.

The Imperial floor plan was a custom created floor plan to incorporate an open floor plan that would be great for entertaining. This home was constructed as the model home for the community of Prairie Pass in Apison. The home quickly became a community favorite, and several homes were custom built with similar designs, but yet still maintain the custom feel for the client. Connie McCoy
