This lawn wedge area had previously been somewhat secluded from the roadway’s view with scattered trees and brush. The customer contracted with a tree service and had the area cleared and was now looking for something unique & interesting to be added; and in particular, something that his wife ‘Cori’ would enjoy visiting and relaxing in.

What was envisioned and proposed to the client was a ‘Get-Away’ Landscaped Island Retreat Area – that would incorporate a central sitting patio area with a flagstone walkway leading approach, surrounded by a semi-bermed perimeter that would characteristically include mountainy accent rockery combined with visually unique specimen evergreen trees and shrubbery.

An add-on to ‘Cori’s Get-Away Retreat’ was then also included in the form of a separated outer ‘teaser-island bedline’ that was positioned away from the main Get-Away Island – positioned out more near the triangular lawn strip’s front tip (between the roadway and the driveway’s entrance). This ‘Teaser Island’ similarly projects, but on a propionate scaled-down version, visually eye-catching sprays of summer to fall transitionally changing plant bloom & foliage colors, with consistent mountainy/rockery accents and also contains and presents the client’s residence address plaque – in full pride’s view for all passers-by.

The project turned out beautifully, and as the siting of sits prominently atop the development’s high roadway/hilltop view, it is used throughout the entire season with an open invitation to neighborhood visitors and decorated with lighting for the annual holidays that come.
