Crook County Residence

The owners of this property wanted to maximize planting areas and provide an alfresco dining area in the landscape while downplaying the driveway and carport which are located uncomfortably close to the home.  The new winding path maximizes the planting area adjacent to the carport and provides a welcoming entry for guests and family.  The berm increases the planting area and reduces the amount of driveway seen from the porch and courtyard thereby reducing the driveway’s visual impact. The river-stone base courtyard provides ample space for the extended family to dine. 

The side yard is a very tight pathway to the east gardens.  The curvilinear path and grade changes seen in the photograph were used to increase planting areas where possible to reduce the “alley-like” feel of the path.   Planting will take place in early spring 2008 with plants that require very little or no additional water.
