GRANITE
GARDEN

At one time, this property was part of a granite quarry that provided building material and crushed granite to the construction industry. The proposed design responds to the exposed granite hillside by creating a series of hanging gardens - stone retaining walls that hold new soil to create a lush garden. Nestled into the slope is a cedar hot tub and deck. 

A new patio off the back porch provides space for a table and chairs and a secret sitting terrace. The patio is framed by a stone wall, fountain, and custom wood benches.  Plants throughout the garden include the dichotomy of a moon garden on one side - with white blossoms and variegated leaves - and a sun garden on the other - white and light yellow blossoms that attract bees. The woodland aesthetic feels comfortable and casual, and integrates the new garden into the native setting.
