This client's home backs up to a beautiful native Beech and Tulip woodland with an intermittent stream running through the middle of the site. After mistakenly over-clearing the natural forest saplings, the once lush woods was now bare. Called in to help re-vegetate the woodland, we designed and created a new path network through the woodland so that the client could enjoy and experience their new garden. Planted with large masses of native perennials, shade grasses and spring bulbs this back yard is now lush once again.

The panoramic view is breathtaking from this home high above a lake in the Algonquin Highlands near Haliburton. To mesh with the natural surroundings, the dark gray Armorcoat interior of the pool and adjoining spa stand in soft contrast to the coping and massive deck in random-cut granite. Solar heating panels, discretely placed out of view, help to reduce energy use and add practicality to the year round enjoyment of the spa. What a soothing retreat from a busy world!

This Northport space was inspired by landscape designs that can be found in the Hamptons. Keeping angles straight, we used 24x24 bluestone slabs in a linear pattern without borders. We solved the grading issue by creating two levels with Cambridge Matrix 3" wall stone in Onyx Natural to complement the beautiful bluestone. We softened the landscape with boxwoods, hydrangeas, and added arborvitaes for privacy. Deck jets were added for a fun yet elegant touch. For the front entrance, a gravel driveway/courtyard (as in true Hamptons fashion) and natural stone steps welcomes visitors.

This low maintenance, clean, and modern landscape accents this beautifully restored craftsman home. Terrain worked with the Landscape Architect to install a custom made bluestone entry, paired with polished Mexican pebbles. Steel edging defines the landscape border materials. The simplistic wood and metal screen frames this front yard terrace.
