This project, installed in South Riding, Virginia, incorporates many different landscaping features including stone hardscaping and extensive planting.

Description	Photo
This photo shows the front entrance. One highlight is the stone walkway, which compliments the architecture of the home. A large landing off of the driveway directs visitors to the front door. A planting bed is located to the right of the walkway and provides a focal point and screening.
The backyard was cleared, beds were edged and mulched, and masses of plant material were installed. We added new elements, while working with other features (such as the deck) which were already part of the landscape.
Here, we show a close-up of the landscaping around the deck.
It is very important to relate hardscaping elements to their surroundings. Curved planting beds transition the structure of the deck to the lawn area and naturalize the landscape.
Stone always adds a natural touch to any garden. In this example, stacked stone risers are used to complement the irregular flagstone paving. Evergreen and perennial plantings add year-round interest.
