Garden in the Woods

Finding and creating balance at the entrance of this architecturally designed ranch home was the goal of the landscape design.... a balance between the built environment and the natural.... a balance between the tended garden and the wild. Three deck units were added to gently transition between inside and out. The top deck section larger and detailed to match the house. Space enough to add seating and a welcoming meet & greet space. The two lower deck, same in size and detail, transition to the hand made clay paver walk. The paver walk gently curves out in both directions and make pedestrian flow seamless. The gardens near the home are well tended and become more naturalized as they radiate out into the surrounding woods. Peaceful afternoons can drift away sitting on the deck perfectly balanced between home and landscape...
