Perennial hillside.

A simple Japanese maple sits off the entry courtyard. Views of the lake are seen as one approaches the front door. The clients love of Asian style is carried throughout the landscape. This lodge style bungalow is located on a small lake on the Western side of Washington State.

Just like the hardscape which was built from primarily recycled materials, most of the plants in this garden have been given a second chance at life from various certain death instances.

Our client constructed their new home on five wooded acres in Northern Virginia, and they requested our firm to help them design the ultimate backyard retreat complete with custom natural look pool as the main focal point. The pool was designed into an existing hillside, adding natural boulders and multiple waterfalls, raised spa. Next to the spa is a raised natural wood burning fire pit for those cool evenings or just a fun place for the kids to roast marshmallows. The extensive Techo-bloc Inca paver pool deck, a large custom pool house complete with bar, kitchen/grill area, lounge area with 60" flat screen TV, full audio throughout the pool house & pool area with a full bath to complete the pool area. For the back of the house, we included a custom composite waterproof deck with lounge area below, recessed lighting, ceiling fans & small outdoor grille area make this space a great place to hangout. For the man of the house, an avid golfer, a large Southwest synthetic putting green (2000 s.f.) with bunker and tee boxes keeps him on top of his game. A kids playhouse, connecting flagstone walks throughout, extensive non-deer appealing landscaping, outdoor lighting, and full irrigation fulfilled all of the client's design parameters.

This yard began as a lot of rock at the street strip and all lawn. With the rock removed, planters added and drought tolerant plants, this front yard now has character and color. Bulbs were added for early spring color and a mix of drought tolerant plants makes up the foundation. This is a four season yard of color.
