Plaza Entry

Another victim of the Chaefer beetle and its hunters, the destroyed lawn is a good excuse to renovate this garden. Our requirements: no lawn, staggered front entrance and minimal colour palette. The Ginkgo and the Hydrangea paniculata were to be retained.

​

We used a mix of natural stone and concrete pavers for the look. The plaza is edged with a variety of evergreen shrubs giving colour and fragrance throughout the seasons. The new retaining wall provides a focal point and it embraces the plaza, enclosing it in natural stone. Plants are repeated throughout the design for cohesion. Shapes and textures are also repeated.

​

Because of the limited colour palette, we relied on a variety of greens and textures to create a diverse and dynamic organic garden.
