Residential: A Back Yard Oasis

This once wide open backyard is now a place of refuge for these South Charlotte homeowners who enjoy time outdoors. Solow Design Group designed a custom backyard water pond just a stones throw from the homeowner's existing screened porch making it the primary view and the primary focus for the senses. The water dances under the twinkle of the sun, and moon, while playful Koi dance about adding to the relaxation of the sound of rippling water.  

  • This once wide open backyard is now a place of refuge for these South Charlotte homeowners who enjoy time outdoors.
  • Since the owners love spending time on their screened porch, we designed the water feature as an extension of the porch itself by brining it right up to the foundation. We also carefully integrated the patio an surrounding plantings to further the enjoyment of this tranquil water feature.
  • The bricked area adjacent to the water pond serves a dual purpose, as the seperation and connector to the driveway and garage as well as the lead into this lavish backyard.

The custom water feature is designed to not only pool on top, but it also features a semi-circular spillway allowing the water to gently flow from the stones before entering the main pool below.
  • With careful attention to every detail we curved the landscape to work in unison, as the curve of the brickwork on the patio and paths become one with the curve of the yard aiding in the gentle transition of stacked stone to boulders-- like a melodic harmony keeping in perfect time.
  • Smooth river rocks not only serve to quell drainage withing the landscape, their form indulges the eye as well.
  • A bashful cherub overlooks white Astilbe as time seems to stand still in this peaceful garden overture.
