Composite to redesign their backyard with a simple desire: give us a restful place for quiet breakfasts and dinners. Composite landscape architect Michael LoFurno devised a plan that removed the rotting railroad ties and ground level deck, removed the level changes to make the space seem larger, and swapped angles for curves.
Composite Inc. prepared the plans and constructed the garden. The design
employs a simple circle to enclose the dining area and plants staged beneath an
ascending serviceberry and a graceful hemlock. The two large trees were
preserved in the design and provide a restful backdrop to the woodland-style
setting. The flagstone was salvaged from another patio and reshaped to fit the
design; this area is edged with bricks recycled from on site. A solid granite
fountain bubbles peacefully, surrounded by ferns and other plants. Songbirds perch
in the lowest tree branches and visit the fountain regularly. The new fence
-- stained in a soft green color -- provides a pleasant backdrop.
The garden provides a contemporary solution for quiet dining and relaxing by
employing traditional materials in a refined way.
