John Webb explains the importance of thoughtful landscape design with New Home Construction. With the odd shape of this lot John put the back yard in the front. To achieve this and provide privacy the entire lot has been elevated an extra 6 feet above street level. Take a stroll with us to see how John’s plans evolved throughout this new home build project.
“And we are now getting ready to pour patios and driveways, and to get the landscaping.. We’re getting prepared to put the landscaping in in about a month. But there is a lot of infrastructure still. There are several zones of irrigation that still needs to go in. A little bit more planning on just the right plants and trees to enhance the beauty of this place.
I always look at the landscaping ia like the icing on the cake. The house is solid and built really well, but the landscaping really dresses it up, enhances the style, I always like to have things blooming all year long. Let a lone with perennials, that are around and green all year long. It’s nice to have things that come back over and over and get larger. As I created the front yard, which I call the front yard/backyard living space, they kind of roll into each other. But it’s more like the Secret Garden up there. So, it’s a whole outdoor entertaining area that is very useful at this point.”
