FEATURES:
Permeable bluestone and brick patio, walkways, stormwater management, woodland trail, circular no-mow lawn and extensive native planting

Client’s Wish:

To transform their backyard into a peaceful retreat where they could connect with nature and escape the stresses of everyday life. The client envisioned a space filled with native plants and natural elements that would attract wildlife and promote relaxation.

OBSTACLES:

Limited space and existing landscaping presented challenges, but creative solutions were implemented to maximize the potential of the site. Additionally, navigating local regulations and permit requirements required careful attention to detail.

Native Plant Features:

The heart of this project lies in its native plantings, carefully selected to thrive in the local climate and support native wildlife. Species such as Eastern Redbud, Butterfly Weed, and Switchgrass create a biodiverse ecosystem that enhances the beauty and ecological value of the space.

This landscape shows how thoughtful design can work with nature rather than against it. Winding paths, permeable stonework and layered native gardens transform a challenging hillside into a peaceful place to wander, gather and experience the changing seasons.
