This project, installed in Arlington, Virginia, involved grading, stone retaining walls, a stone terrace, a brick walkway and extensive plantings.

Description
Photo
This stately walkway, constructed of brick, on a concrete bed, with mortared joints, leads to the front entrance of the home.
At the back of the house, an iron fence surrounding the pool area provides security without detracting from the landscape. Carefully planned beds incorporate specimen plant material, maintaining privacy but still providing an uncluttered and spacious feeling.
The side yard was extensively graded. A fieldstone retaining wall was installed to provide a focal point and a level planting area.
The access to the pool area is highlighted by a complementary iron gate. Formal plantings, including boxwood, grasses, and perennials enhance the structure of the iron gate and arbor columns.
