A new circular drive and front walk orientation created a lovely formal lawn to set off this traditional house. In the back yard, the 70’s brown brick pool patios were renovated and the pool re-plastered to give the private area a quiet, classic look, while new plantings soften the hard surfaces.
This family desired a modern upgrade to add some personality to their home. A courtyard was added off the porch for a comfortable spot to relax outdoors. The old walkway was sloped and hazardous. It was replaced with sleek, concrete pads that lead right under a lightweight arbor. The old planting scheme was one-dimensional and without any variety or life. The new selection of plants add depth and texture to the landscape.
For this home situated in the heart of the Park Cities, the owners wanted a quiet private area separated from the busy street. A European-style interior courtyard provides an arbor, a fountain and room to entertain. Tall myrtle hedges and lush plantings buffer the street views from the large front windows.
