Kirkland Charmer

GOALS: Outdoor entertaining, many hydrangeas and roses, calm landscape, grass for kids, attractive plants in every season, good circulation throughout the property.

This comfortable home was almost finished when Land2c began designing the landscape. The open-concept main floor has 3 sets of French doors opening onto the partially covered terrace. The private backyard backs up to a serene green belt. The originally planned minimal patio area was doubled in size and became three curving continuous terraces. The middle terrace has a built-in seating wall for trays of food, drink, and extra seating. The views out to the back garden from the main floor are lovely and change throughout the seasons. The clients are avid gardeners and the collection of their favorite plants--hydrangeas and roses--light up the garden pathways that circle the home. The owners enjoy home-grown bouquets all season long--just one of the benefits their landscape provides.
