Following a recent home remodel, the owners were eager to reinvent their landscape, desiring improved curb appeal, usable areas for entertaining, and access to the nearby freshwater lake. Designer Tina Nyce took the opportunity to create layers of intriguing usability including an expansive patio with a fireplace and sound system, a bubbler water feature, a hidden seating area, and a bocce ball court. Sumptuous plantings evoking meadows, woodlands, and wetlands allow the house to relate seamlessly to the surrounding environment–including a 100-foot-long waterfront buffer that supports local wildlife.
Natural elements like stone bridges, nurse logos, winding pathways, and significant boulders serve to ground the area while linking it to its surroundings. A stunning representation of designing–and living–with nature. –Jenny Peterson
