Homeowners with an estate situated on extensive acreage tasked Kane Landscapes with reimagining the approach to the house on a grand, yet intimate, scale. The list of requirements for the project included guest parking; a focal water feature for visual and sound interest; and a strong connection between the drive, the adjacent five-car garage and the front door.
The design team created a new driveway approach and parking areas, including an extension that accommodates the garage and is screened by holly and crape myrtle. A fountain encircled by shrubbery aligns with the front door; walkways are clad in the same stone that trims the house. Plantings such as boxwood, hydrangea, laurel and cat mint are pruned to compliment the home’s formal architecture. Evergreens along the property lines conceal the neighboring houses.
