Brynhurst Ave. Residence
Front Yard Landscape
For this 1951 ranch house, the client was looking to modernize this mid-century home via landscape, color, and texture. A minimal plant palette was selected to provide a foreground and direct attention to the house. Several color schemes were offered, most slightly contrasting the trim and fencing with the house and the plant pallette. DG and concrete pavers provide texture and were considered part of the color scheme as well. A new two car driveway was the main exterior space created by a series of fence sections. The fencing in conjunction with rectangular concrete pavers creates a series of progressively intimate spaces from the driveway and public sidewalks to the house.

Full-Yard Landscape
The client wanted to do a xeriscape on a tight budget and within two weeks. We worked with the idea of a dry streambed through the front yard, lined by mixed grasses with a decomposed gravel base. A series of wood walks and stepping platforms defined the front door path. In order to give definition to the seating area at the side of the house, raised planters were provided around the perimeter, and a sunken patio with large stone pavers and DG grout to tie into the front, solving both the grade issue and the muddy mess it became during the rainy season.

Full-Yard Landscape
The key to enjoying a home rests in the connections made between the inside and outside spaces. We created distinct exterior "rooms" to give a place for the functions of entertaining or just relaxing in the yard. A bearing wall was removed between the kitchen and dining room to emphasize flow from the front to the rear of the house. Hardscape and plant elements enhance the relationship between indoor and outdoor rooms.
