Residential: Lake Norman Garden

This Cape Cod style home on Lake Norman exudes charm and grace. Our goal for this project was to nestle the home into the lush surrounding landscape in a way as to make the house less imposing. 

  • This Cape Cod style home on Lake Norman exudes charm and grace. Our goal for this project was to nestle the home into the lush surrounding landscape in a way as to make the house less imposing.
  • A modern interpretation of the traditional picket fence reflects the style of the home while spearating the front yard gardens from the street.
  • This area serves to soften the transition from the hill into the lower level garage on the property. The enclosure also hides the home's HVAC system and wheelbarrow as well as other needed tools and supplies.
  • This quaint meandering path provides ground level travel around the home and is flanked by a unique corkscrew willow tree.
  • Form and function entertwine as pathways and stone walls unite to create flow amid masses of crinkle leaf ivy. A stone basket overflowing with seasonal color adds a touch of whimsy to the landscape.
  • This stairway leads up and to the main floor of the home. The wall is covered in creeping fig adding an air of old-world charm to the sweeping staircase.
  • At the back of the house sits a brick walkway adorned with a Holly fern and Pachysandra surround.
  • At the rear of the house the back walkway leads to an ornate door that opens to reveal additional storage space and... the homeowner's Endless pool.
  • This beautifully ornate door opens into the area where the pool is located.
  • On the opposite side of this garden enclosure is a meaning brick sidewalk passing through a lush, terraced garden that traverses the steep grade from the front to back yard.
  • Entrance into this {quote}secret garden{quote} is accessed through the classic white picket fence...
  • This image paints a complete picture of the intricacies of the grade changes within this landscape. With breathtaking views to the lake just beyond the garden gates.
