Garden 6 - Lakeside Lesson

A mile long view looking toward a dam and two adjacent coves, is just one of the many highlights in this garden space. Mature trees were pruned up to a height that provided privacy, preserved the beautiful view, and maintained a natural habitat for wildlife. In this garden, wildlife is considered cohabitants, and the landscape must be welcoming to all.

Limestone surrounds much of the shoreline. The Property Owners Association has incorporated the same limestone in their hardscaping, piers, and entrance monuments. Natural limestone elements in the retaining walls, and the limestone boulders ensure this garden blends seamlessly with nature and the surrounding aesthetics of the neighborhood. Similarly, river rock, spread close to the shoreline, is the same as the original creek bed below the lake.

This garden owner embraced the challenges of neighborhood and wildlife conservation to create a garden that seamlessly blends plants, trees, and the lake for neighbors of any species. It is a magical space for all to enjoy.
