We were privileged to work on the new home of one of our existing clients when they moved to a beautiful traditional home in the Broadmoor. The prior owner had some basic landscaping installed, but that layout did not meet the needs of our clients. A place to barbeque year-round, entertain, play, and gather were all on their wish list. In addition, a practice golf area was a fun priority.
We began to design with these elements in mind. Keying the outdoor living elements in to the architecture of the home was important. We designed brick to match the home as a border on the sand finished concrete, and woodwork on the pergola and pavilion to match existing beams on the home. We extended the existing patio to create a large covered and heated area to entertain and grill. Off of that main area, we created walkways and stairs to a fire pit are, informal lower patio for ping pong, and to the practice golf area. We worked together with the homeowner to create this area to meet his goals.
Once the hardscaping and construction was completed, we planted the newly created shrub beds with an attractive mix of screening trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials. The end result is a formal yet fun area to meet with family and friends. We hope they continue to enjoy this space for years to come.
