About 180 linear feet of 6 ft pressure-treated board privacy fence replacing a grey, leaning fence around a Richmond Hill backyard, with two new gates.

The goal of this project was to provide a lush and vast garden for the new owners of this recently remodeled brick Georgian. Located in Wheaton this acre plus property is surrounded by beautiful Oaks. Preserving the Oaks became a particular challenge with the ample front walk and generous entertaining spaces the client desired. Under most of the Oaks the turf was in very poor condition, and most of the property was covered with undesirable overgrown underbrush such as Garlic Mustard weed and Buckthorn. With a recently completed addition, the garages were pushed farther from the front door leaving a large distance between the drive and entry to the home. This prompted the addition of a secondary door off the kitchen. A meandering walk curves past the secondary entry and leads guests through the front garden to the main entry. Off the secondary door a “kitchen patio” complete with a custom gate and Green Mountain Boxwood hedge give the clients a quaint space to enjoy a morning cup of joe. Stepping stone pathways lead around the home and weave through multiple pocket gardens within the vast backyard. The paths extend deep into the property leading to individual and unique gardens with a variety of plantings that are tied together with rustic stonewalls and sinuous turf areas. Closer to the home a large paver patio opens up to the backyard gardens. New stoops were constructed and existing stoops were covered in bluestone and mortared stonewalls were added, complimenting the classic Georgian architecture. The completed project accomplished all the goals of creating a lush and vast garden that fit the remodeled home and lifestyle of its new owners. Through careful planning, all mature Oaks were preserved, undesirables removed and numerous new plantings along with detailed stonework helped to define the new landscape.

We designed a gate for both the client and the client's neighbor, with a sloped walk. The solid gate helped give the elderly cats a secure space, and the sloped walkway provided them with ease of movement. Kevin Sloan

These two cane bolts are installed on the interior of the double driveway gate. The installer drilled holes in the concrete patio to receive the bolts. This is the closed position for the gates, but the installer also created holes so that when the gates were swung open, they could be anchored in the ground. This double wooden gate included a split into 1/3 - 2/3 to create an enclosed courtyard in the carport area. There were children at the property, and so stoutness of hardware as well as security were of utmost importance. The home is a Craftsman style, and the gates were built to complement that. The hardware chosen was made of solid bronze to coordinate with the Craftsman appearance. Photos by Victor Robinson Design (www.vicrobinson.com)

Garage - mid-sized modern attached two-car garage idea in Los Angeles

This fence was about 86 ft long and has a built in pedestrian gate. The top edge was trimmed out to add a nice detail and it also followed a very gradual slope. The slope is not that noticeable in the photos, but it adds a nice edgy look to this fence.
