Landscaping

There are jobs that have classic features, but this job is classic in every sense. My client had planned and thought about this project for years prior to building it. It's modeled closely after a 200+ year old famous garden on the east coast. So, we used bluestone and salvaged 100 year old column finials and very traditional iron work. The plantings were all very scaled, but consecutional in nature and not cottage-like. The wall in the back also features a wall-mount water feature with a copper scupper and mill-stone. I loved the amount of precision required for this job and the incredible amount of detail. My client was incredibly particular and also very gracious and great at communicating detail. It still takes my breath away as you walk through the gates and around to the gorgous living space. Landscape Contractor Values: Any given Landscape Contractor may have a different approach, but Landscape Contractor, Brett Berry of Berry Outdoor Living creates living areas that feel connected to the home. As a Landscape Designer and Landscape Contractor working with a Landscape Architect, we try to create the space so it feels relaxed. It should feel like it's been in place with the home for years and not an "add-on". As a Landscape Contractor that merges old and new construction into the landscape design, the goal is to build a space people want to spend time, whether at the bar of the outdoor kitchen, fire pit, patio, or covered porch. When a space becomes a large part of the homeowners' daily life, as a Landscape Contractor, that's when I know a project has been completed with excellence. I work closely with a Landscape Architect through the design process to ensure the space has the correct "feel". A Landscape Contractor must build the space to flow from the inside of the home out. The patio and outdoor living space feels like an extension of the home, or another "room" of the home and feels wrapped with fresh, low-maintenance landscaping. In Kansas City patio, and landscaping design, there is a clear trend toward a cleaner, more defined look influenced by a more modern era viewpoint that values a non-cluttered look and feel. So, as a Landscape Contractor, in our circle of clients, we've seen a definite shift toward cleaner, artisan-crafted backyards and fewer "boxy", shrub-heavy yards. A Landscape Contractor with a keen sense designs this effect.
