Modern Residential Design

A modern home asks for a landscape with the same discipline. This design used strong lines, a restrained plant palette, fresh turf and decorative rock to echo the architecture, with lighting placed to pick out the structure at night. Everything was drawn to scale and rendered before installation so the owners could see how the pieces fit.

Key Features:

Design:

• Clean geometry: bed lines and materials that follow the architecture
• Restrained palette: fewer plant types, used with intent
• Renderings: the finished design reviewed before installation
• Low maintenance: turf, rock and plantings chosen for easy upkeep

Lawn:

• Ground preparation and grading.
• Fresh turf installed for a finished lawn.

Materials:

• Decorative rock in the structured beds.
• Weed barrier beneath the rock.
• Crisp edges between lawn, rock and plantings.

Result:

• A landscape that matches the house.
• Structure that shows day and night.
• Designed and installed by one team.

Modern architecture deserves a landscape with the same clarity — this design keeps every line intentional, from the bed edges to the lighting.
