This was a two-part project. First we had to determine the perfect place for a fountain our client had found. The fountain was not large enough to be placed in the middle of her expansive front yard, and the side yards were about to go under major construction. That inspired us to create an interactive space left of the front door. We established a walkway of crushed red clay brick chip, red clay brick inlays, and multi-dimensional clay brick edging that led down to a patio which became the fountain's new home. This area serves as a resting place to take in the extensive front yard and expansive English-style perennial beds. There is a looseness to the patio area that makes one want to spend time, yet it adheres to the classic lines and formality of the house. It is now a a place that our avid gardener can plant small perennials and herbs to fill the nooks and crannies as she sees fit. Once that goal was achieved, we renovated the rear yard.
