FAMILY TIES
Craftsman style homes are suggestive of strong construction and simplicity; therefore these principles were applied to the design and implementation of this landscape.
In the front yard, a low foundation planting under plants without overwhelming the front porch. The bluestone walk, positioned through a post and rail fence creates a sense of entry onto the premises. It directs neighbors and guests off the street to the front door without dividing the small yard. The surrounding garden provides seasonal color and year round interest.
A lush garden highlights the entry into the rear yard. Its foliage defines the outdoor living space and separates it from the existing drive. The garden has a succession of bloom from Spring to Fall, reaching its peak during the summer months. Spaces for entertaining, dining, and an area where children can play have been incorporated into the landscape.
These modest, but impactful landscape improvements have had a huge influence on the life of this family. The success of the entire landscape has been accomplished through subtlety and dignity of style.
