A fieldstone wall brick path and a variety of plants from large trees down to perennials and ground covers help set the scene for this now private sitting area. |
Stone posts and fence infill frame the property on two sides separating it from the road. Grades were adjusted at the rear of the property and a stone wall and brick path added to give the landscape greater structure and interest. |
Soil and fieldstones were added creating a burm in order to soften the look of the awkward grading created during house construction. A variety of low maintenance plants add year round interest and screening. The burm also functions to separate the private area from the culdesac. |
The introduction a formal entry walls with matching stone posts and fence infill gave the open corner lot greater definition and sense of place. The walls also provide shelter and a pleasing backdrop for perennials. |
