The garden room concept is an extension of a home's indoor living space. Key components of the garden room are patios or terraces immersed in plantings ranging from formal to less structured and seasonally dynamic. Often times, elements such as water gardens are incorporated into a garden room. Water gardens add the elements of sound, movement and aquatic life to the outdoor setting. The sound of water is soothing, while the movement of water and fish adds flow of the garden. Garden structures such as pergolas, custom fence panels and custom trellises add architecture to the garden room. Pergolas create a destination within the garden, a semi-enclosed space designed for relaxation. Custom designed and constructed fence panels and trellises add privacy to parts of the garden room where desired. They also create ideal spaces allowing the addition of vines to the garden, which over time soften the architectural elements. Low voltage lighting allows the garden room to be used and viewed after dark, when you are generally home to enjoy the garden. Energy efficient and easy to care for, low voltage lighting is an excellent value for the garden. Low voltage lighting has really evolved over the past decade to offer a wide range of fixtures and lamps creating many unique effects, enhancing your garden after dark.

This gallery shows many of the water features that GardenArt has developed. The water feature can be the focal point of the garden. Today's water features are more varied and lower maintenance than ever. The most popular water feature in today's landscape is the water garden. The water garden contains moving water (generally a small waterfall and a pump for recirculation), aquatic plantings and aquatic wildlife such as fish. Over the past decade, water garden 'kits' have made the provision and installation of water gardens much simpler. The 'kits' come in a variety of sizes providing a host of cost options. Sizes range from 8' x 10' to 25' x 35'. The sound and site of mowing water is tremendous. The sound of a waterfall is calming and can also create some 'white noise' to deaden other sounds nearby. Aquatic vegetation puts the 'garden' in the water garden. The range of aquatic plants available allows for varied bloom times and excellent variation in plant form, leaf color and leaf texture. Marginals can live near the edge of a pond or water garden, while submerged plants thrive in a range of water depth from 6" to 24". Aquatic plants also have the benefit of helping to keep the water clean by absorbing nutrients from the water and shading the water to decrease the amount of sunlight available for algae formation. For clients desiring only the site and sound of water, the 'kits' can still be used without the aquatic vegetation. The same advantages of moving water are enjoyed in this application. The sound is the same, regardless of the aquatic vegetation. Fountains can be incorporated to add structure and/or sound to smaller places such as entryways and patios. They can vary greatly in size, take up minimal space and add sound to the setting. These are generally simple devices and need conventional power to run. GardenArt also constructs custom water features incorporating the 'kits'. We can add creek beds water flows through prior to falling into a water garden. We have working relationships with other pump suppliers and civil engineers to construct significantly larger features when desired by our clients. Regardless of the size, GardenArt can work with you to determine which type of water feature is appropriate for you and your lifestyle.

Planting design and installation consists of combining the desires of the client (style of garden, desired level of maintenance, specific plant material), the realities of the site, (architecture of the house, existing site conditions such as soil, natural light, topography) with our expertise (planting design, installation practices, material selection), creating a product which is aesthetically pleasing and sustainable over time. Plant material is the most dynamic element in the landscape. Our broad yet regionally appropriate plant pallet allows our designers to create planting designs offering a seasonal variety of plant material resulting in year round interest.

Providing better drainage with sub surface tiling has a huge positive effect on long term plant performance.

GardenArt provides the design and installation of walks, patios and terraces using a wide range of materials, including concrete pavers, clay pavers, pattern stone, flagstone and specialty gravels. Our design process begins with assessing the needs of you, the client. We will discuss how you would like to use a patio. How many people do you intend to entertain on your patio? What type of surface do you envision walking on? How will a patio or terrace integrate with your home? How visible is the terrace from your home? We have a similar set of questions for sidewalks and walkways. How do intend to circulate around your home? Do you need wider pathways for equipment? How do you want visitors to approach the house? Do you have multiple entry points to your home? Once we have determined the parameters of the paved surface, we will discuss materials. We offer a minimum of 50 surfaces for sidewalks, patios and walkways covering a wide range of costs. GardenArt works with manufacturers such as Unilock (concrete pavers), Pine Hall and Belden (clay pavers) and numerous stone quarries for pattern stone and flagstone. Our relationships with a wide range of quarries and manufacturers allows GardenArt to use materials reflecting the architecture of your home or business and the realities of your budget. With the materials offered by GardenArt, the design possibilities are endless. Our installation crews have decades of experience and attend continuing education seminars on an annual basis to understand new products and the latest in installation efficiency. GardenArt prides itself on the variety of materials we offer for paving and the manner in which these materials are installed.
