View Alyssa’s landscape and hardscaping projects below:
Asekos - Garden
Asekos prefers a whimsical style with curving, organically shaped beds and unmanicured plants resembling more of a cottage garden than a formal style.
Guto - Pool Landscaping
Guto prefers a clean and open look. We re-did most of the foundational beds, removed some beds, sodded over them, and replaced the screening at the pool. We’ll be revisiting the property in the fall for additional work in the lower yard.
Aily - Home Landscaping
Aily downsized to a smaller home, and we installed all sod and plantings on the property. They love variegated plants and a whimsical, fairy-garden feel, leading to the selection of a Japanese Maple, Loropetalum, and Goshiki Osmanthus as key plantings.
Mith - Home Landscaping
Mith wanted to add character to a large lot. We added plantings around the foundation to add color to the existing base plantings and created large island plantings on either side of the property. Key selections included hydrangeas, a ginkgo tree, magnolias, and arborvitae for pops of blue, purple, yellow, and pink throughout the landscape.
Ung - Water Feature
Ung was looking for a great hardscape base to create a backyard oasis. We created two raised patios—one now featuring a gazebo, the other with a seating wall around a firepit. We also installed a water feature in the corner of the yard in direct sight of both patios and placed steppers from the home to the patios.
Athke - Walkway
Athke was looking for a front entrance/pathway with a statement. They prefer a natural, organic feel, so we chose flagstone for the pathway, which complements the stone at the front door. We also redid one of the foundational beds and extended a downspout drain.
Lendening - Garden
Mr. and Mrs. Lendening recently purchased a new home, which allowed for a clean slate on their landscaping! We addressed some drainage concerns – some you can see, and some you can’t see! There are underground drainage pipes we installed, as well as a dry cobble bed to coax the water off the hill into a catch basin. We created an organically shaped paver patio accented with a Bloodgood Japanese Maple which gives an excellent pop of color and promises a bit of shade as it matures. There are two focal beds created using a garden accent wall to match the color of the patio with some of Mrs. Lendnening’s favorite plants; crape myrtles and gardenia, along with some camellias for fall/winter blooms. We added that same garden accent wall to the front and a few plantings to personalize the front entry.
