Melanie’s
Place
This project was completed
in August of 2005. The backyard of this
residence is an imposing hillside, sloping
toward the back of the house.
This presented a challenge
that would be problematic and perhaps intimidating
for less creative landscapers.
We decided to use it
to our advantage, and install a waterfall
and stream into the hillside, to take advantage
of the excellent visual prominence of the
stream flowing toward the house.
In the base of the hill,
we carved out a semi-circle, and built
a retaining wall out of a mixture of Chilton
Outcroppings, both “Weathered Edge” (for
color and interest) and regular, as well
as a mixture of fieldstone boulders of
a variety of sizes and shapes. |
