his yard was transformed from a bland bilder basic to a fun and lush xeriscaped entry way. To make the yard feel bigger, we removed the driveway and used gravel from end to end, creating an open, borderless planting and patio space across the entire front yard. For extra security and privacy, a fence was added along the front, which features an automatic gate for easy use as they come and go. With the limestone facade being one of the customers least favorite features of the house, we planted fig ivy vines to grow and cover it.

The small backyard off the patio was carefully landscaped to include lush flowers and plants that can grow year-round. The cute playhouse with raised vegetable beds were a must for this owner, and our team was eager to make a custom nook for the children, all the while incorporating the small space and patio it includes.

The best compliment I have ever gotten is: "You saved our marriage." This is why today I sometimes call it "Landscape Therapy," because you can spout out everything you want, and I will help you find solutions. You can leave the decisions to me.

An under-utilised corner of the garden was transformed into a romantic apiary, or bee-yard, featuring brightly painted hives and vintage furniture. The pebbles are a practical surface for working on the hives and retain water for the plants. Plants selected are a mix of bee-friendly perennials, herbs and vegetables, including dahlia, salvia leucanthe, anenome japonica and dianthus, buckwheat, blue kale, rhubarb, and silver lemon thyme. Woolly thyme, festuca coxii and purple alyssum soften the pebbles. Photos by Dee McQuillan

Aménagement du jardin privé pour des particuliers basés à Villennes-sur-Seine. Le jardin entour la maison et est aménagé de petits espaces permettant son utilisation pour différents usages. La conception est pensée avec une cohérence paysagère de l'ensemble de la parcelle. La maison située au centre du jardin, offre des points de vue sur des scènes du jardin. L'ensemble du paysage amène le visiteur à se tourner vers la Seine, clou du spectacle de ce terrain exceptionnel. La terrasse en bois surplombe le jardin et est bordée de massifs de vivaces fleuries et naturelles. Les haies monotones et monospécifiques sont remplacées par des haies champêtres et à leurs pieds des massifs plantés viennent faire du jardin une promenade ponctuée de petits espaces de repos ou de lecture agréable.

Water Re-use project using the Overflow Water coming from the Reverse Osmosis System. The waste line was run underground to the back of the fountain post and attached to the garden hose valve. The valve is locked in the open position to always allow flow when the system needs it. The watering can is removable to use the water for nearby potted plants. If the water is not used for plants it overflows to refill the bird bath with fresh water for the birds. Since the build several birds make it a regular stop in there day.
