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…)

The patio is graded from stamped concrete to solid concrete step stones, to running concrete step stones in crusher run gravel and finally to crusher run gravel only. Crisp edging is provided by metal. Plantings consist of native plant material and vegetables. Birmingham, Al. (more…)
