Oakland County Project

Overall this landscape was designed to help combine all of the clients requested site features and amenities with a very naturalistic woodland and lakefront setting. This property was also set on a step incline which we were able to use to our advantage. The backyard pool and lower patio had to be artfully set within the steep slope and we were able to fuse this slope to our advantage to create this magnificent negative edge pool which spills down to the walking path leading into lake. The slope also allowed us to create dramatic vista and viewpoints over the pond and to the lake.The front landscape, though formalized, fits nicely within the wooded and helps to anchor the house in nature. The asphalt driveway was created to accommodate numerous vehicles and guest parking but also minimized the amount of trees needing to be removed. To finalize the clients requests we created two more living spaces; a lower patio by the pond as well as a deck and beach which nestles quaintly to lakeside and surrounding lakefront.
