This family wanted their home to be transformed into a private backyard sanctuary that embraced nearby aquatic wildlife and created a natural backdrop for viewing and entertaining.
The water feature, consisting of a vanishing edge rock and underwater lighting, drowns out the nearby road noise and creates a stunning focal point. Multi-fall rapids provide an excellent view from the patio areas. The selection of rustic slate, natural stone, plantings, Japanese Maples, blooming perennials and an existing prized Wisteria vine embraces the natural Bellevue setting.
The clients will be enjoying the low maintenance aspects and landscape architectural features for years to come as they watch the plantings mature and further integrate into the natural setting.
