More New Landscape Design Projects in Bend!

Another gorgeous project creating a patio using New York Bluestone pavers for clients wanted a low maintenance, easy, elegant and beautiful landscape.  It is so fun working with clients with a strong sense of what they want, we worked together creating many different renditions of the plant to finally create something that balanced the off center backyard with the pavers. 
Surrounded by evergreen trees for a sense of place and privacy, complemented by choice deciduous plants for a seasonal effect.

The clients had selected these ornamental evergreen trees to create a stunning effect in their front yard.  To work with the slight slope we used more New York Bluestone to create a low terrace.

Narrow Small Backyard Make-Over

Some years back a client moved into a new home with a small rectangular backyard.  He wanted to be able to use the space and to create a welcoming environment to enjoy.  The challenge was the yard was only 15 feet wide and 45 feet long, that is quite the narrow rectangle!
I overcame the bowling alley effect with creating a curving path that allowed for deep beds on either sides with small trees and plants that spilled over.  This gave the eye something to rest on instead of going directly to the fence.  The path curved slowly through the space allowing one to take in a bit at a time, ending in a small paver patio to sit and enjoy the space. 
The yard had definite sunny and shady areas allowing for different areas that blend very well.
Tell me what you think!
