Downingtown Garden 3 years later

Project Site: Downingtown, P.A.
Design & Installed: Summer 2007
Design Program: The Homeowners felt as if their back yard was a 'fish bowl' as every time they went outside to use their deck or yard the neighbors could see what they were doing. Screening was the first priority coupled with four season interest and complimentary plantings. Rather than put up a green wall around the entire perimeter I selectively screened some views and we kept open other long views between the homes. A seating area was planned for and future plans of a pool were planned.
