Country Estate
Careful use of colors, textures and forms give this home's main entry year round appeal. Specimen grade European Hornbeam trees and boxwood hedges add important structure and scale as they flank the portico. A lush carpet of pachysandra groundcover extends across the homes entire foundation planting bed area, and is punctuated with masses of yellow shrub roses and annual flowers. Large urns at doorway are supplied with drip irrigation and are switched out seasonally with inviting displays.
The lavender tones of the Pennsylvania bluestone entry apron pull the same color ranges from the home's stone veneer. A cobblestone arrival court feature is seen in the foreground.
