Two years in the making this landscape creates a private space filled with formal gardens and ornaments. From the multilevel front entry beds, to the gardens surrounding the lawn, to the stunning rear design, the entire space is incredible. The rear terrace features a pool, outdoor kitchen, 3 levels separated by stone walls and stairs, a distant terrace at the top of a bluff that offers an unobstructed lake view, and pergola that highlights a stone statue.

We design our outdoor living plans to have all of the functions that a home’s floor plan has inside. Each space is connected by a pathway that lures the visitor comfortably around the corner or through an archway looking forward to what the next garden destination has to offer.
