Down this wooded driveway sits a country manor where summer rejoices.

Substantial stone piers and wood gates frame a glimpse into the estate.
A formal manor home sits behind a low stone wall and summer blooming roses.
A broad flagstone walk takes you up to the front door.
Behind the house is where the fun begins. Challenges in the typography were turned into assets through creating various outdoor rooms at different levels.
A formal pool fit for a king, with a lush backdrop of perennials and grasses in all their summer glory.
View looking back toward the house.
Imagine summer afternoons whiled away under the shade of this poolside cabana.
Leaving the pool area, a fountain is glimpsed.
The fountain sits at the center of a sunken, formal strolling garden, lush with liriope and flowers.
From the house the cruciform shape of the garden can be seen, set against a backdrop of lawn and water. An aeration fountain punctuates a pond in the rear of the scene.
This view toward the house rear shows the spaces in all their summer glory. This project demonstrates how lush, exuberant plantings can invigorate formality.
