Natural Landscape Transformation

For this project, the client wanted to create a natural, seamless landscape that would feel like you've just walked into a magical forest. Their vision included meandering pathways connecting various functional areas of the property, all while maintaining a natural aesthetic. Here’s a summary of the project from design to completion.

Project Overview

Client's Vision: The client desired a landscape that felt organic and natural, with flowing pathways to connect key areas: the back door of the house, hot tub patio, grass area, back shed, and the side yard where their RV is parked. Additionally, they wanted an extensive plant package to complement the design.

Location: A residential property with multiple functional spaces in need of connection through natural landscaping.

Design Process

3D Design: We began by developing a detailed 3D design, giving the client a clear visual of how the landscape would look. The model featured meandering pathways, natural plant groupings, and thoughtful connections between the home’s back door, the hot tub patio, the lawn, the back shed, and the RV parking area.

Implementation

Meandering Pathways: The key feature of this project was the installation of natural stone pathways that gently curved throughout the landscape. These pathways were designed to flow organically, creating a sense of journey and discovery as they connected the different zones.

• Back Door to Hot Tub Patio: We created a smooth transition from the back door to the hot tub patio with a curving pathway, lined with soft plantings to enhance privacy and create a serene space.
• Grass Area and Back Shed: The pathway continued through the grass area and extended to the back shed, providing convenient access while blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
• Side Yard to RV Parking: Finally, we extended the pathway to the side yard where the RV is parked, ensuring the design was both functional and cohesive.

Extensive Plant Package: The client wanted a lush, natural look, so we incorporated an extensive plant package. Native plants, grasses, flowering shrubs, and trees were selected to enhance the natural aesthetic, providing year-round color and texture. The plantings were carefully placed to frame the pathways, creating a sense of immersion in nature.

Additional Features

• Sustainable Materials: We used natural stone and sustainable materials for the pathways to enhance the eco-friendly design.
• Irrigation System: A custom irrigation system was installed to ensure the plantings remain healthy and well-maintained.
• Lighting: Soft, subtle lighting was added along the pathways to maintain the natural ambiance while providing safety during the evenings.

Final Results

The completed project successfully created a serene, natural landscape with flowing, meandering pathways connecting all key areas. The extensive plantings added depth, texture, and color, blending beautifully with the natural surroundings while maintaining a cohesive and functional design.
