It was such a pleasure to work with Maria & Jeremy once again on their backyard oasis. Their new home in Leaside had a backyard that required some serious TLC but had the framework for a really unique outdoor room.
We began the transformation by removing the neglected garage that divided the backyard into two unusable areas and also removed the old pressure-treated deck boards and railing. We expanded the upper deck
area and added updated horizontal cedar fencing for privacy and deep deck treads for
overflow seating. The garden structure hiding
in the far corner of the property was now visible and became our focal point and set the stage for a romantic outdoor dining room.
The rest of the garden hosts a series of contemporary horizontal cedar privacy
panels, low-maintenance four-season planting, contemporary containers with decorative twig panels and grasses, a rectilinear lawn area with a flagstone mowing strip and walkway. And last but not least, Dad built a great little playhouse for the little ones. We added a stepping stone path that meandered through the mature wooded area creating a true enchanted garden.
All in all, a garden made for everyone.
"I just wanted
to write a few words to let you know once again how happy we are with
the garden you have created for us. As you know we were thrilled with
your design for our Riverdale garden back in 2007. Now in our new home
we find ourselves equally delighted with your latest vision. You were
able to blend perfectly both my husband and my ideas for our backyard.
It’s a perfect retreat, play area and entertaining garden! Thank you
Jennifer!"
