Patio and Courtyard Garden Design
Patios and courtyards are the spaces designed for family and friends to gather while outdoors. Considerations include changes in light and shade, access to the home, prevailing views, aesthetic choices for materials, and client priorities for how the space will be used. Below are samples of our patio and courtyard design and installation work for residential clients Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Jamaica Plain, Lexington, Dedham and other local communities.
A Backyard Oasis
The original landscape in Lexington was a brush and bramble mess which needed to be replaced by a usable family activity center. We transformed the previously overgrown terrain into casual seating, activity areas, and planned views from the house, all while installing a natural drainage system and stabilizing the slopes with erosion control plants.

Family Friendly Spaces
The importance of having an family friendly outdoor space linked with nature can not be overstated. This large landscape has a number of areas to play for growing children including a place to run, a quiet corner for discovery, a secret garden, a fairy garden, and a butterfly garden, all sanctuaries where one can escape and use imagination. This landscape is also an extension of the home, as an outside room where one can entertain, dine al fresco, read and admire a view.
