State of the Art Landscape

Rob Tilson takes a creative approach to designing outdoor living spaces

While renovating and adding onto their 1960s center-hall colonial in Vienna, Virginia, homeowners contacted Rob Tilson, FASLA, PLA, to create multiple outdoor-living areas on their two-acre lot.

A swimming pool and tennis court anchor the new landscape design. Tilson designed a covered veranda and dining area overlooking the pool, as well as a patio big enough for seating beside the tennis court. He resolved major drainage issues in the backyard. Working with the architect to ensure a seamless look, he selected hardscape materials and colors for the landscape that would complement the house. “I enjoy working with clients with a variety of tastes and styles,” Tilson says. “I believe a well-executed landscape design begins with great collaboration with my clients.”
