General Overview

The design for this residence enhances the beauty and grandeur of this estate. This client wanted European style gardens to match the style and scale of the home. The front entrance consists of Cobblestone type pavers and formal plantings. The rear consists of more formal gardens with three beautiful lawn circles, Shrub Roses, and bluestone Edging. Decorative Staircases allow access from garden to garden. There are also raised beds with natural stone walls. Large trees were incorporated throughout the property keeping the scale consistent.
