Garden Entrance

This complicated garden required importing hundreds of yards of fill to build the walk and fountain shown in this image.  The focal point of the garden is created with the grey strip rubble crescent runnel which culminates in the urn fountain.  This fountain is visible from multiple locations in the garden and serves as a pivot for the overall layout.  Spaces are created with mostly native and traditional Southern plant materials including Southern Magnolia, dogwoods, oak and maple trees, hollies, hydrangeas, gardenias, itea, and camellias.  Each focal point in the garden reveals the next space in the garden.  Native was used as well as gas lighting.  Birmingham, Al (more…)
