A Stand Out Welcome Walkway

Sustainability was a major theme for the design of this home and property - The planting is nearly all drought tolerant and plants are selected to thrive in the particular site conditions where they are planted.

From the driveway is a bluestone entrance to a stepped and jogging pathway to the front door, with a 4 ft tall beautiful bluestone wall with house number 1011 displayed on the left to welcome
A jogging bluestone path aims towards the front door of this beautiful, shingle-style home, with plantings and trees softening the path
The big front porch of this shingle style house is reached with a jogging bluestone path and soft shrub plantings of spirea
Jogging through the front yard, this bluestone path has ornamental grasses on the left and on the right a variety of shrubs and perennials in various greens

These natural boulders hold the grade and flattens the yard.

Large boulders in the backyard hold back the grade spilling from the neighbor behind and soft planting softens the top of it
Large boulders near the fence have a narrow planting of beautyberry and black-eyed Susans and hydrangea spilling over

This blue stone patio nestles into the grade and is intimate enough for just family - but flexible enough to seat many.

A pathway cuts through the yard past a Japanese maple and towards the end of a large boulder wall that is holding back grade
Off of the bluestone patio in the backyard, a winding set of bluestone stairs lead up to a gravel area with a fire pit and chairs all around

Bluestone steps and paths tied the space together.

Close-up of rustic solid bluestone steps lead to an upper area
Small squares of bluestone paving create a patchwork pathway through the lawn along a bed of perennials
Solid bluestone steps in the slope of planting lead to chairs around a fire pit

A special garden off the driveway is hidden for the patio view but easy to access.

An antique wrought iron gate leads through a natural wood picket fence to a raised bed garden area
Near a corner of the house at the edge of the lawn is a small raised bed vegetable garden
