Create an Entrance...

So as the Summer/Fall season come to a close... I find myself going back through some photos I took throughout the year... A couple of them in particular stand out for me as I had a chance to visit another project of mine from the Summer of 2010.



This photo shows the walkway into a backyard pool/cabana paradise...  I get so many comments on how it looks and feels like your own private resort.  That was the whole idea for this customer and the planning process involved in their project.


All the hardscape building materials and planting were carefully selected to bring this whole backyard together.  The look and the feel of everything helps to create a timeless appeal for years to come.  The one thing I always enjoy about revisiting my old design projects... each year as the plant material ages, it feels like a different space...and looks more and more like what I had envisioned when I first set out the plan on paper...

It creates attractive environment for entertaining and relaxing. Trees, shrubs and other plants that shade the building or the outdoor air conditioning unit can reduce the need to run the air conditioner, while a windbreak of trees eases cold winds in the winter so you don't need to run the heating system as much.

loved reading of your trials and tribulations to get where you are now and you persisted and won !!! I compared my steps to offer residents help with their property, because all it takes is a plan a design to kickstart projects. My six year night school courses at Mohawk College earned me the Horticulture Plant ID and Landscape Design Certificate, which I took proudly every Spring for 3 years to show what I had accomplished. I am hoping I made a difference for my dozen or so clients. At that time another passion took over.....I still garden at my home.
