An existing Arbor had aged Wisteria vines that were pulling down the structure. The vines were removed and trimmed before tying them back into the Arbor. The structure was secured and irrigation was relocated so as not to spray on the wood.The existing overhead trees were pruned and opened up to allow more light into the area. A Bluestone chip path was added to create more of a "room".

A view of the cable wire trellis along the fence with a vine beginning to climb. Reclaimed flagstone pavers form the pathway, while a large terracotta pot and a neighbor’s shrub sit in the midground, adding depth and greenery to the scene.

This is an example of a traditional landscaping in Chicago.

A city courtyard reminiscent of the French countryside, an oasis right in the middle of the city. A harmony of details combine to perfect the space, a dramatic change making this space inviting. The character of the home is carried into the courtyard design, the tones of the clay pavers complementing the stone and brick surrounding the courtyard, offering a natural and weathered atmosphere. Around the edge of the pavers is a french drain for functionality, without taking anything away from the design. The arbor over the middle doorway is a custom built addition and it serves more than one purpose; it will be home to climbing vines, it frames the doorway with its placement, and it balances the space with its size and color. A significant addition that integrates and unifies the space. The plantings are all shade lovers, chosen to thrive in this space. There are evergreens and perennials that give the gardens structure throughout the year, and annuals added for seasonal color.

A new cedar arbor and elevated seating area was added around an existing pool deck to add space for chaise loungers and relax by the pool. Flowering vines were planted at the arbor posts which will grow up and create a vibrant canopy. The existing space did not offer any pool side seating previously.
