Seasonal Gardens

The development of a landscape happens year round. Yet, the times we take notice are usually in the spring and fall when the color and smell demand our attention.  Recently we revisited a project from 2013 in the View Ridge neighborhood.  It was a lovely circular space from the front yard to the backyard, and our clients wanted a functional patio rather than the mushy northwest lawn of winter.  

Here is the peak at the lawn as we started ripping it out in early spring:

Flagstone patio installation, heading into summer:

And finally, the winter garden.  It has a muted color palette with lots of different textures to consider, yet still possesses small bursts of color to draw your eye.
