Kitchen Garden
For years, our client had dreamed of transforming her back garden into a whimsical kitchen garden—and we were thrilled to help make that dream a reality.
She also had a well-loved old patio that was ready for a refresh. The bricks were heaving, the plants had become overgrown, and the space no longer worked the way she wanted it to. With a new blue stone patio and steps, she now has a beautiful, welcoming space for entertaining and enjoying the garden.
The old sport court had also fallen into disrepair, making it the perfect spot for something new. Away it went, and in its place is now the most charming kitchen garden—a peaceful retreat where she can grow delicious vegetables and spend time tending to her garden.
The front garden needed a little love, too. We replaced the overgrown plantings with a serene color palette and low-maintenance plants, creating a calming view that can be enjoyed without a lot of upkeep.
From entertaining to growing vegetables to simply enjoying the view, this garden is now a place to relax, gather, and garden with ease.
Many memories were made on this patio, but it had seen better days. Tree roots had heaved sections of the surface, and it was time for a safer, updated space.
