A Sophisticated Retreat

An effective and usable outdoor space takes careful planning and coordination with the homeowners. Through the decades, TERRAFIRMA has worked on countless new construction residential projects. Developing a master landscape plan is very important in giving the client a visual as to how all of the various elements of their project will tie together. Another great benefit of having an accurate plan by a Landscape Architect is what is referred to in the industry as “phasing” a project. Phasing is spreading the costs out over a period of time. By following a master plan, no portion of the project will look like an after thought or have an unprofessional look.

The extensive stonework on the project flows seamlessly into landscaping beds that contain a wide array of colorful shrubs and perennials with unique textures. Large mature 25-foot shade trees were power spaded on the site to create instant effect. This project provides the homeowners and their guests with a tranquil outdoor environment to relax and unwind.
