New House, Wooded lot:

The challenge: These homeowners had just built their dream home on a wooded lot. They wanted a dual-purpose design, to create both a gracious front entryway with an elegant natural look and a backyard suited for recreation and entertainment.

The Caliper Solution: Following a natural path, we created a meandering bluestone walk that linked the house to the landscape. For natural elegance, we designed a simple planting of Boxwood and pachysandra, and then added perennials for color. In the backyard the pool was set off to the side and provided an attractive focal point. Lush plantings and a gazebo created a warm and welcoming garden. Finally, the addition of a custom picket fence extended the house trim into the garden, creating the feeling of a long-established homesite.
