Australian pines provide privacy screening year-round and a backdrop for the waterfall, which is the garden’s focal point.
Land & Water Design, Inc. conceived a naturalistic pool scape on an Ashburn, Virginia, property. “The vision included a three-season screened porch, a fire pit, travertine pavers, custom lighting and a landscape that would promote privacy,” recounts landscape architect Don Nesmith. The plan incorporated these elements around an irregularly shaped pool and a custom waterfall made with boulders. “They’re placed to provide a sound that will disguise noise,” notes Nesmith. “And the pool is deep enough to jump into from the boulder beam wall.”
