The clients requested a complete redesign of their yard, front and back, and were drawn to a prairie-style aesthetic. The ultimate design drew its inspiration from the idea of gathering spaces and circles. The intent of phase one, the front yard, was to break away from the standard shrub-and-flower shallow landscape motif and pull the landscape away from the house, to transform the yard into both a usable and an aesthetic space. The plant and material palate takes cues from the formality of the neighborhood and includes boxwoods and formally spaced grasses, gravel pathways, and steel edging. These proverbial bones of the landscape then help to frame those portions of the landscape that contain a wilder, more prairie-esque feel.
