Designed to look and feel like part of the home, materials were carefully chosen to match. The pergola, however, was designed to stand out and draw attention to this space.
-
We started with a traditional landscape plan but also presented our ideas using an animated three dimensional program for the most realistic preview of the finished product.
-
With the home construction nearing completion, we build the last "room" and the surrounding landscape from the ground up.
-
While our landscape plan included planting beds on all sides of the home, the main focus was on creating an elegant, open-air parlor in the back.
-
From the driveway on the side of the home, a lovely garden path takes you past buffering beds to the private back patio.
-
A small dining area near the kitchen door overlooks the large back lot and is perfect for light meals or just relaxing. Any more would have emphasized grilling over chilling!
-
Looking across the patio, you can see how the dining area is positioned between the fireplace and the property line, with trees offering privacy from the road.
-
Under the pergola, sunlight creates great shadows and comfortable broken shade. Overstuffed chairs are circled for conversation and offer a great view in every direction.
-
As wonderful as the finished pergola is, building it was anything but! Several crews teamed up to offer extra manpower and expertise for the difficult installation.
-
Worth the effort! Looking up, you can see the dramatic lines of the custom pergola that includes a ceiling fan and lighting. The sky is the limit in this bold landscape!
-
The stone work on the fireplace wraps around to form a low seating wall. Functional features like recessed lighting and a sound system are also built in.
-
Grasses and perennial flowers frame the home and the patio in a continuous line of color.
-
The massive stone chimney compliments the masonry work on the home and forms a partial wall for privacy on the patio.
-
Style radiates from this patio, with the beams of the pergola, the 14’ foot chimney and the tall perennials all reaching outward and upward to make this landscape special.
-
Understated elegance under the cover of the custom pergola. This landscape perfectly brings together and balances comfort, convenience and classic style.
