Geremia PoolsThe small backyard off the patio was carefully landscaped to include lush flowers and plants that can grow year-round. The cute playhouse with raised vegetable beds were a must for this owner, and our team was eager to make a custom nook for the children, all the while incorporating the small space and patio it includes.

Landscape Projects, Inc.Created for a couple moving to a smaller house and lot in order to “down¬-size” after their children had left home, this garden’s design presented many challenges. The wife, an ardent gardener, had a long wish list: a water feature; specific plants (including a river birch, a gingko tree, oakleaf hydrangeas, plants to attract butterflies, and trilliums), fragrance, a small patio, and a potting shed. She also wanted to eliminate grass from any part of the property, and to have space to plant annuals (in containers and other areas). In short, she wanted a small “dream garden” created from a site that even she characterized as “disastrous-looking” at the outset.
The wife wanted pathways that would allow her to visit all parts of the garden. The patio space did not need to be sizable because of the high deck off the back of the house, but the views from the deck were important.
We accomplished all of the clients' goals, and designed a series of small "garden rooms" in the backyard to create the illusion of a larger space. We also designed a "faux potting shed" front to screen the area under the deck and incorporated a raised planting bed for annuals and herbs, which was featured in an article in Fine Gardening the following year as an inventive way to disguise an eyesore in the landscape.
This garden received an Award of Distinction in 2009 from the DC/MD/VA Landscape Contractors Association.

David Bauer, Cornerstone Builders of SW FlWater Re-use project using the Overflow Water coming from the Reverse Osmosis System. The waste line was run underground to the back of the fountain post and attached to the garden hose valve. The valve is locked in the open position to always allow flow when the system needs it. The watering can is removable to use the water for nearby potted plants. If the water is not used for plants it overflows to refill the bird bath with fresh water for the birds. Since the build several birds make it a regular stop in there day.
