Sophisticated SurroundingTraditional Landscape, DC Metro

Stunning - great work!

Would you be able to provide an approximate square footage of the sitting areas both in front of the fireplace that looks to be on a lower level, as well the rod iron eating table area? Beautiful backyard!

I appreciated so much the idea created by sophisticated sorrounding...

The wall is 18" high, this job is in Northern Virginia, and the purple flowers are Geraniums.

awesome

Can I get this stone in Oklahoma?

It's like a green shag carpet. I think it goes great with the setting. I'm curious how it holds up though. Florida weather can be a real pain so it's good to take caution when choosing any type of plants.

Mondo Grass likes shade.

Pennsylvania Bluestone. Full Color

Amanda is correct, we used Pennsylvania Bluestone, Full color for this project

Staining fireplace brick.....can you use min wax wood stain or is a semi transparent concrete stain better?

sorry....above comment about stained brick posted in error

We did use mortar to attach the stone to a block wall

Almost certain this is natural blue stone full range colors (that is what's called in my area)

oh yeah right what crap

We do it both ways depending on the look that we are going for. If you look at some of our other jobs, we have done entire walkways and patios with large slab flagstone on a gravel base

Thanks you so much!

Do you have dimensions of fireplace?

beautiful is that the stone manufacturer or color and is it available nationally?

We find it at our local vendors here, I am not where else it would be available but there are probably many other types that would look similar.

It reminds me of a walkway i used to do jumpy jacks on!!!!

I also used to play leap frog with the ward , at a place like this! oooooh the me

The flowers you are referring to are perennial-type Geraniums.

The flowers are gorgeous. I love how nice they look in this backyard. I will have to try to implement something similar. Thanks for the inspiration. https://www.agritract.com.au/shavings

I love those lights.

Path lights are by Cast-lighting.com I think is the web site.

These lights are manufactured by Unique Lighting Systems.

these are geraniums

Trovo molto interessante l' effetto, che nonostante l' utilizzo di molte tipologie di essenze riesce a dare un senso di ordinato, e anche nella manutenzione non troppo impegnativo.

they are geraniums

The garden pathway looks beautiful. Could you please let me know about the stones used in building those pavers? Thanks in advance for any replies. Moreover, the purple colored flowers look beautiful and add to the beauty of the entire outdoor space. http://bit.ly/1Jrkn29

what are those flowering shrubs? they look like they may tolerate shade?

Those are Geraniums behind the wall

I would love to put the purple geraniums around our Linden tree but our neighborhood is overrun with rabbits. Do you know if geraniums are also 'bunny food'?

They are boxwoods - Buxus sempervirens

Thank you for the info and for taking the time to respond. Beautiful work.

The lights used in this landscape are low-voltage landscape lights. We are unsure of the manufacturer.

Thank you! The walkway and patio surfaces are constructed with full-color Pennsylvania flagstone. Your local stone supply stores should be able to acquire the stone.

Bethanneh, what specifically would you like to know? The light used is commonly referred to as a "wash" type fixture. We used low voltage lighting for this project.

The stone wall was constructed using standard industry practices. A concrete footer is poured, with cinderblock stacked and mortared in place on top of the footer. Then the cinderblock is faced with the stone and the wall cap is secured.

Thank you, Arely!

We purchase our lights through our local vendors. After you determine what brand of lighting you would like to use, you should be able to search for your local vendor(s) on the lighting company's website.

The walkway is constructed from full color Pennsylvania flagstone.

I do not believe that photos are downloadable from Houzz.

Isminee, thank you! The wall stone, kitchen stone, and fireplace stone is a building stone called Eagle Ridge.

Northern Virginia

The stone used on the fireplace is called Eagle Ridge.

This is Pennsylvania Bluestone Full Color cut in a random rectangular pattern

The walkway is constructed with Pennsylvania flagstone, most likely with a 2-3% slope.

They are geraniums

Most of our landscape projects begin with an initial survey before we start the design.

The two bushes in the lower front are Buxus Green Velvet or more commonly known as Boxwoods. Although they will grow to a size of 3 - 4 feet in diameter, these will be routinely trimmed to maintain their current size.

Michelle, we are unable to answer your question. Kind regards.

Not sure, maybe you should seek help from your local Apple store.

Teri White, that is a very difficult question to answer without knowing your specific style/taste preferences and seeing a picture of your home.

By searching "corner bar" in the search box at the top of your Houzz page, you should be able to find the results that you are looking for.

By searching "sunrooms" in the search box at the top of your Houzz page, you should be able to get the specific results that you are looking for.

Hello

Those are Mondo Grass in front of the wall and to the left of walkway. The small shrubs in the grasses at the bottom of the picture at Morris Dwarf Boxwoods

Feel free to call the office at 703.430.6001 to talk to the architect Chad Talton. He could probably answer and questions that you might have
