Classic Charm Meets Timeless Relaxation •
The Challenge
This charming colonial-style home needed a landscape that honored its historic architecture while adding comfort, function, and visual impact. The homeowners wanted a refined entrance, a peaceful backyard retreat, and plantings that would bring lush texture throughout the property—all without compromising the home’s classic character.
Our Approach
To preserve the timeless beauty of this property while enhancing its outdoor living experience, our team focused on:
Refining the Front Entry:
A crisp white picket fence and modern paver walkway bring a clean, elegant update to the historic façade, guiding visitors to the front door with purpose and charm.
Layering Natural Stone and Greenery:
Low-profile retaining walls made from natural stone form raised planting beds, adding structure and texture to the space while softening hard edges with flowing greenery.
Creating an Intimate Gathering Space:
In the backyard, we introduced a natural stone slab fire pit surrounded by relaxed seating for evening enjoyment and simple moments around the fire.
Highlighting Historic Character Through Simplicity:
Every design choice—from the material palette to the placement of plantings—was made to enhance the character of the home without overwhelming it.
The Results
The finished landscape now feels like an extension of the home’s historic charm. The front entry is clean and welcoming, the backyard offers a peaceful retreat for casual fireside conversations, and the lush plantings add softness and privacy throughout. The space feels grounded, balanced, and quietly luxurious—just as the homeowners envisioned.
