The Details
This is an ongoing project since 2004.
We strive to upgrade this garden with every phase. With the first phase of this design our objective was to maintain the garden and make it more plant friendly.
We installed a good quality computerized irrigation system and decided to break up most of the existing paving. The garden had nice big old existing trees that provided a lovely shaded area with high foliage that gave us a nice canopy to work under. Most of the plant material selected was shade loving plants.
We proceeded with a bit of construction for steps and flower beds to give the garden a bit of depth. The challenge in this garden was to be able to choose the right plant material for deep shaded areas. The landscape was also divided into small rooms that was designed in separate sections. It gives the design the element of mystery. Around every corner something different attract attention.
