Patio - traditional backyard patio idea in New York with a pergola

This front planting space is deer central with plenty of root competition and consisted of a rather mixed layout of plants. After reusing/moving existing plants and infilling with fresh options it is now a beautiful, consistent layout of (hopefully) deer resistant plantings.

It all started with the large format terrazzo tile. The client and I fell in love with the tile and it created the starting point for the entire design. Including the copper hardware and tinted grout. And when I found this custom vanity fabricator, I wanted to tie it all together with a matching bench.

These are photos of my artwork. All photos are taken by me.
