Project overview
We integrated a hardwood deck with a Cedar-topped Cornish Slate wall and oval lawn. Striking slate paving contrasted with a curving stainless steel water feature to show off dramatic borders enhanced by reflective sculptures.
Feature trees of weeping birch and pleached Liquidamber provided structure and shade while marginal and aquatic plants complemented flowing grasses and bold flowering perennials.
