Italian Village Patio Gem

Teamwork created this delightful urban space - from the homeowner’s green thumb and excitement of using old building materials found on the site - to the designer’s interpretation of that - and finally to the talented contractor who built it.

A pathway made of various found materials on the site, such as brick and stone and bluestone, winds through soft-buried plantings to a small patio
A rustic piece of art in the shape of a crescent moon hangs on the plain concrete wall, acting as a backdrop to lush garden plantings

This lovely urban space is filled with surprises, lots of lushness, and plenty of places for neighbors and friends to drop by and relax for a visit.
