SCJ Studio Landscape ArchitectureOur client built a striking new home on the east slope of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. To complement the clean lines of the facade we designed a simple, elegant landscape that sets off the home rather than competing with the bold architecture.
Soft grasses offer contrast to the natural stone veneer, perennials brighten the mood, and planters add a bit of whimsy to the arrival sequence. On either side of the main entry, roof runoff is dramatically routed down the face of the home in steel troughs to biofilter planters faced in stone.
Around the back of the home, a small “leftover” space was transformed into a cozy patio terrace with bluestone slabs and crushed granite underfoot. A view down into, or across the back patio area provides a serene foreground to the beautiful views to Lake Washington beyond.
Collaborating with Thielsen Architects provided the owners with a sold design team--working together with one voice to build their dream home.

Serge van der Voo Landscapes LLCThe idea of the Habitat Berm was initially concieved by an avid bird watcher and Glacier Hills resident who’s appartment looked out over an open lawn area along Earhart Road. To appropriately fit the scale of the Meadows Apartment’s architectural footprint the berm measures approximately 150‘ x 35-45‘. The planting pallete of the berm consists entirely of native groundcovers, perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees. Species providing shelter (thorns), feeding (berries), and nesting materials (grasses) for birds were intentionally chosen and several residents placed birdbaths and feeders in the garden. The constant movement of the grasses and birds together with the seasonal color and textural changes have given the Meadows Appartment Residents a constant source of serenity and beauty.
My Country Garden Design SolutionsCountry garden style flower borders with a mixture of trees, shrubs and perennials helps to create colour and interest throughout the year.
The flower borders line up with the axis from the main terrace out from the house. This axis then includes a corten steel water feature and a Lutyens style wooden bench
Joanne Green Landscape & InteriorThis project had two required outcomes; develop a bolder garden presence in both the front and back garden, while creating a unique area in the backyard for teenage boys to entertain in.
The backyard was a very rocky site which included a bald, exposed rock and multiple levels, but which had an innate native feel - so this was built upon by planting a number of beautiful Australian species, such as Bracelet Honey Myrtle, Kangaroo Paw, Mat Rush, selected succulents, Coastal Rosemary, Japanese Box topiaries, Sweet Viburnum, Bird-of-Paradise, Box and Keteleeri Juniper.
To carry the native feel throughout the entire redevelopment, the backyard construction included feature sandstone walling, timber bollards to support lighting and sandstone steps with decomposed granite.
To ensure the area fulfilled its entertainment goal, a fire pit was created with timber seating surrounds and a new BBQ enclosure installed, complete with lighting and a gas BBQ for year-round functionality.
The exposed rock was turned into a unique feature piece and the garden was punctuated with sculptures, tallowwood posts, sawn sandstone, castlight fittings and terrazzo pots to imbue a modern bent.
This feel was carried throughout the front yard where new feature walling, pots and lighting complemented the same plant varieties.
The end result is a bold modern garden which boasts year-round entertainment functionality and can be enjoyed by all ages.
Joanne Alderson DesignA swirly tree walk in a large garden on Oxfordshire. This design is simple but looks great throughout the seasons. Children love to run around the mown paths as do the owners dogs! Winter flowering cherry trees are used for seasonal interest & structurally it looks great year round. Into the spring the longer grass is filled with pretty spring bulbs
The London Gardener LtdA contemporary roof terrace designed to be a place to entertain and relax. Planted with predominately evergreen plants to give year-round structure, texture and privacy. Powder-coated steel planters were made in differing shapes, heights and colours to give more interest, and reflect the light. Some planters were placed on wheeled bases so that they could be moved around for large parties! The planting was also wind tolerant with a flowing colour pallet of lilac and white. We installed an irrigation system to water the plants and shots of colour came from cushions (outdoor fabric) and ethnic floor cushions. High quality outdoor lighting gave the space atmosphere with additional hanging lanterns used with large candles.
