a side yard screen
With a fire pit and patio already in place, these homeowners needed a way to create a little more privacy to enjoy their yard without building a fence. Helping to create a sense of enclosure to their surroundings, a mixed pallet of both evergreen and deciduous plant material was chosen. A natural screen wall was created along the property line that will only get better with time. Summer color was brought into the landscape in both a small and large way. Two crapemyrtles were placed within the landscape to help shield the view from the road and bring in the colors of summer. Smaller plants adorn the landscape creating color and movement. A drainage channel was created using the natural slope of their yard with the grass acting as a channel and a pathway. Low voltage lighting was added to help highlight the features of this area, but not to distract from their use of the fire pit at night.
