SMALL SPACES MATTER: RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR nh CITIES AND TOWNS

Project Location:

Old Town Alexandria, Va.

Awards:

Best Residential Landscape Design Under $100,000; Washington Spaces Magazine

Project Description:

“The parents of two active girls wanted to create a multi-tasking garden in their tiny backyard that would host rugged soccer practices as well as elegant dinner parties.  Meg Herndon complied with a blend of plantings and hardscape.  The custom built pergola acts as a transition from the walkway to the garden and also forms a contemporary proscenium over a stage of ipe.  In addition to LED lights that bathe the area at night, the owners went green with recycled cement tiles which are integrated into the garden walk.  Ipe built-ins do double duty as seating as well as toy and tool storage.”
