The homeowners wanted a yard that would add interest year round that was low maintenance. The design included a new limestone pathway lined with Mexican beach cobble leading up to a Ipe front porch. A small limestone retaining wall was installed to deal with the topography change. Low maintenance plants and accent lighting finished the makeover.
After getting a new back porch in the backyard, the homeowners were ready for phase 2 of the design. They wanted a new patio and landscape to tie the whole backyard together while providing color and interest. The design includes a modern limestone patio with a fire pit. A seat step runs along the porch and a limestone pathway connects the new patio area to the driveway. Native perennials provide a splash of color against boxwoods that frame in the patio area while providing a low maintenance landscape.This project was a collaboration between
Mark O’Hara (Landscape Architect) and K2 Landscapes (Landscape Contractor).
