Landscape Design & Install Project in Simsbury, CT
This project was particularly exciting because the client gave us a carte blanche. Do what you want, so that's what we did. This job started with a Blank Slate, we Installed TechoBloc Pavers, Created Landscape Beds, Landscaped Multiple Hillsides, and Created a River Rock Swale.
Patio Outdoor Living Area
Our Client bought this property based off the incredible views this mountain side provides. In order to maximize the space, we installed a hedge 'Steeds Holly' to preserve the view, however, also proving enough privacy to be out of sight from neighboring properties and road traffic.
Nonetheless, with this property being cut into a slope, it was important to provide a useable turf area. This area was graded out, and we installed sod, and a landscape bed beside the garage to create a secluded area for patio entertainment.
Front Entrance Landscape
A gorgeous house deserves a gorgeous entrace. We lined the front walkways with Boxwoods, Little Lime Hydrangeas for foreground, and a background of Hinoki Cypress, Ivory Halo Red Twig Dogwood Shrubs, and Features including a Kousa Dogwood & Japanese Maple. A lot of thought went into the placement of every shrub, and we can't wait to watch this landscape mature over the years.
Hillside Retaining Wall
The retaining wall that hols back the hillside at the driveway was looking to industrial for our liking. We had to do something to soften this up. A hedge of Hamlen Grasses did just the trick, with a River Rock Landscape Bed. This bed is over 150' long, and makes quiet the statment!
The Most Challenging Part of This Landscape Project:
This property has a very tough topography, the front entrance from the private road is very steep. There is a hillside that both needed to both be beautiful & provide erosion control. Before we started this project, the hillside kept washing out from the rain, and we had to fix that.
