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.
