Masterplan of the property

Before photo of the front of the home and driveway entrance

Custom cedar driveway gates and pedestrian gates are surrounded by lush landscaping, Carderock stone walls, and columns adorned with gas lanterns. A cobblestone/bluestone detail was used to construct the driveway.

Large flatstone steppers lead from the pedestrian gate to the cobblestone driveway. Extensive landscape lighting creates a dramatic effect. Morris Dwarf Boxwoods line the bed edges, surrounding the entry courtyard.

The entry courtyard features a custom granite fountain, extensive perennial and annual plantings, and Carderock stone knee wall. The walkway is butt joint flagstone. The tennis court entry gate is in the background.

This flagstone stepper walkway escorts guests around the right side of the home to the rear outdoor living environment. Various textured plants were utlized to create a lush and cozy feel. Alaskan cedars help disguise the generator and pool equipment.

A cutting garden is nestled behind the Hypericum in the foreground. Extensive evergreen plantings are used to hide the A/C units, as well as the neighboring home/property.

A view of the inside of the greenhouse. A heated floor and temperature controlled environment allow us to have a bromeliad wall, cacti, cutting flowers, lime and lemon trees, and vegetables.

An overall view from the koi pond looking towards the rear of the home. The expansive butt joint flagstone pool deck allows for large entertainment events and funnel people out into the backyard living space. Morris Dwarf Boxwoods line the hardscapes, softened with drift roses, Carex, and annual plantings.

An overall twilight shot of the rear of the home. Graceful lawn steps lead guests into the lawn area from the pool environment. Extensive landscape lighting creates a dramatic effect as well.

We constructed this custom cedar arbor to shade the homeowners and their guests while taking a break from playing tennis. A custom cedar gate leads down to wide stairs. Extensive evergreen plantings are used to hide the neighboring property.

An overall view of the tennis court area. Large Boxwoods screen the tennis court from the driveway area and create definition between the spaces. There is a large dry well integrated as part of the construction of the tennis court. Extensive retaining wall and grading work was facilitated to allow the construction of the tennis court environment.
