Our intentions behind your landscape design project were to create a woodland edge that offered four-season interest, beauty and functionality. For this particular landscape, we strived to capture the essence of the location by incorporating existing elements such as the native backdrop, architectural of the home, surrounding topography, and signifi cant viewsheds. By understanding and calculating existing elements, we were able to weave together a naturalistic landscape that showcased your residence’s most noteworthy features.
Our concept for this space began by embracing a nature-infl uenced design style that utilized such features as organic lines, native plant communities, habitat zones and sustainable principles. A naturalistic garden recreates the spontaneous feeling of plants as they appear nature. Its distinctive approach uses plant collections rather than hardscaping to infl uence the overall look of the landscape; by emphasizing the form, texture and natural harmony of plants. Throughout the landscape, our design meshes airy ornamental perennials with sculptural native woody plants to create strong visual impact.
Our goal as designers, was to replicate natural plant communities as they would appear in a North American deciduous forest. Our plant collections create interest and drama from early spring through the climax of summer to the austere beauty of the plants dying back in the fall.
A delicate palette of understory shade and partial sun loving plants were dispersed randomly in groups that echoed the layers of vegetation as seen in nature. Providing various levels of shade to the understory are medium native trees. Our woodland garden began with the intentions of creating an intimate seating area. In order to effectively create a private seating area, plant material was placed in large drifts to control certain views - screening those that were unwanted and framing others.
Spring through fall, the colors of the landscape evolve from brightly colored blooms to brilliantly textured foliage. Various native perennials usher in the spring with subtle pastels, later embracing the summer with a vivid spectrum of multiple colors. Throughout the woodland, shade loving perennials are placed in large groups to brighten the deep understory with interesting textures, vivid colors and majestic forms.
