Landscape Lighting

We updated the crumbling sea wall with fresh new pavers from Unilock and added a new walkway to get to the pier along with a new patio under the deck and new retaining walls. Plus all new landscape lighting design from #Allianceoutdoorlighting. We added lights from the lake to the deck, and the patio, staircase, and moonscape lighting to the giant walnut tree.

Large front garden makeover

Client had lots of plants with lots of bloom but no focal point. The large garden was over planted and the property needed an updated  design.  Here is the finished garden and  they were thrilled.

Client wanted gardens to reflect their beautiful Victorian home. Design was created in the style of gardens you would fnd in the early 1920’s.  
I wanted to give this property a proper victorian garden which finds all garden beds have their own “room”.

Creating New Design with Hardscapes

Our client ask for a new and updated design for their entry. They wanted to replace a dated concrete path, a retaining wall made of rail road ties, and a understated entry garden. Working together we designed a much larger and luxurious walkway using several different types of stones, we removed and replaced  the old retaining wall using  natural out cropping. The garden: we redesigned a perennial garden with the shrubs, plants and trees the client loves and that will provide beauty and interest all year. The new design now reflects the scale of this large and gorgeous home.

Designing for the view -Front Island Makeover

Gorgeous home that was hiding some of its beauty. Let me tell you what we did. 
In the back: Patio garden had a complete makeover from many perennials to a very formal rose garden and an evergreen garden.To kick up the formal look the patio gardens were mulched with crushed blue stone. There are two sides roses and evergreens  the design was pulled together with the same stone mulch.  We also created a cutting garden and enhanced the raised beds for the vegetables. 
The front driveway garden was full of gorgeous but very over grown trees, hydrangeas, and perennials. We removed everything in the center of this very large island and installed lush new sod. To add interest on both sides we redesigned exoctic shade gardens under and around the trees.
 Completed design allows homeowner a beautiful view from entry to see across the many acres of this remarkable estate.

Creating Curb Appeal - Before and Afters

Garden Make Overs

Making the front of the house as beautiful and inviting as possible. Removing old and overgrown landscape.  Redesign entry garden with fresh and updated plants and hardscape.  

Custom Garden Pathways

 Make over Problems:  a shady, muddy path that grass would not grow on. Many  different kinds of hardscape's and no way to connect them. 
Solution: a path that links all the hardscape's and allows you to wonder through. We added lots of shade loving plants to enjoy in this woodland garden.
