This project was special for several reasons: it provided a blank slate with which to work and the homeowners were open to a unique and contemporary aesthetic. The scope of work involved the design and installation of a bluestone and gravel patio laid out in a zig zag pattern, with a planting bed mimicking that shape. Behind the patio, the planting bed takes more of a natural serpentine shape for contrast. Low maintenance was a priority, so a variety of shrubs and small trees were installed for a pleasing blend of texture, color and form.
