Contemporary Family Garden at Swan Park
Monica Perrone
The existing landscape layout, complete with useless curves and single steps, frustrated the homeowners and kept them from entertaining family and friends. Elimination of all but the pool, mature trees and perimeter fencing was the only way to make it right. Custom-cut Travertine paving, local crushed rock and clean lines designed for a modern garden and pool remodel were the solution. Corten steel picket fence, gates and planters compliment the scene. Careful design details for drainage within stone expanses and at pool and spa remodel protect the contemporary layout and eliminate the use of plastics and short-lived solutions.
