We transformed a soggy, unused lawn terrace and turned it into an inviting, highly versatile patio. Features include a natural bluestone patio and paths, a corten steel gas fire pit and lush landscaping on all levels.

A meandering path provides access to the front of the residence. This path is protected by weeping Hemlocks and the steppers are surrounded by thyme.

With a lengthy list of ideas about how to transform their backyard, the clients were excited to see what we could do. Existing features on site needed to be updated and in-cooperated within the design. The view from each angle of the property was already outstanding and we didn't want the design to feel out of place. We had to make the grade changes work to our advantage, each separate space had to have a purpose. The client wanted to use the property for charity events, so a large flat turf area was constructed at the back of the property, perfect for setting up tables, chairs and a stage if needed. It also created the perfect look out point into the back of the property, dropping off into a ravine. A lot of focus throughout the project was the plant selection. With a large amount of garden beds, we wanted to maintain a clean and formal look, while still offering seasonal interest. We did this by edging the beds with boxwoods, adding white hydrangeas throughout the beds for constant colour, and subtle pops of purple and yellow. This along with the already breathtaking natural backdrop of the space, is more than enough to make this project stand out. Photographer: Jason Hartog Photography

Continuity and melding of the spaces is clarified when viewed from the conservancy. The landscape design provides visual support for the residence without overwhelming it.

1 of 3-This will be the “natural” firepit created in lower back yard of the residence. Blended into the natural landscape which has been enhanced with boulders, plantings and a stone step staircase and path, this area will be convient to the formal patio w/gas firepit and the covered patio w/stone fireplace.
