A back yard design in September. I softened the stone steps and path with low growing perennials.  The Hydrangeas are past their prime but still look nice.

Back Yard Living in NJ

A NJ back yard featuring a swimming pool and natural stone patio. The chaise lounge chairs are facing the pool and a three tier waterfall. I used natural stone for the pool steps and added some carefully placed boulders into the pool coping. I used Hydrangea, Ornamental Grasses and a variety of perennials around the pool patio. To the left you can catch a glimpse of a midlevel terrace with an outdoor kitchen. Tucked to the rear of the property is playset with a white picket fence.

A retaining wall under construction in a Westchester back yard

A retaining wall project under construction in a Weschester back yard.  This project required extensive cut and fill excavation as well as hammering out ledge rock. I am using Versa Lok for some of the retaining walls and steel reinforced masonry walls closer to the house.

Ny front yard and driveway design

A front yard landscape and driveway design and construction project for a NY residence that is under way. A cobblestone apron at the entrance.  I designed this driveway gate along with stone piers and precast pier caps and trim. A rustic stone wall and fence set on the wall defines the front property line. I provided a separate garden gate and stepping stone path through the garden. A sweeping curved driveway with a stone border and a tar and chip driveway surface takes you across this beautiful property to the home. I am keeping a large open lawn in the front yard with privacy plantings along the perimeter. The front foundation planting design will remain low to compliment the architecture of the home.

A Small Outdoor Room Design in NY

A small outdoor room design for a home located in Warwick Grove, NY. I created a wood porch with steps that wrap and tie in two sets of doors. I added a lantern, ceiling fan, hanging baskets, planters and lounge furniture to the porch area.  Two cut outs, water proofed planters with a root barrier in the step landing allow me to plant a conifer and climbing flowering vine. 

The patio is just large enough to accomadate a dining table that seats six, a gas grill, and a gas fire pit that seats four. There is still room easily walk from area to area.

NJ Swimming Pool Design

Attention to details can be seen in this photo of a NJ swimming pool design. I carefully placed the rock and boulders both within the pool structure and in the planting beds. River gravel at the edge of the patio hides the patio drainage system. A path light is placed to light the step up to the spa. I set it back a bit from the patio so that it can be softened with groundcovers. To the right one of the outdoor Bose speakers can be seen. I set this back a bit from the patio so that it also can be softened with plantings. I used a variety of perennials, ground covers and shrubbery to naturalize, soften and add interest to the pool.
