A Refined Renovation
A new home purchase was in need of major updating inside and out. After the couple spent the first few years working on the inside, it was our turn to renovate the exterior.
Landscape Architect: Jeff Hershberger, PLA
Location: River Hills
Inspiration
Drew from the client’s wishes for “simple elegance”. I observed the home’s interior, furnishings and pieces to gain a sense of the client’s style. Then I worked to match the design to the client.
Favorite Element
Rose garden, rear terrace, fountain, art pieces and accessories.
Biggest Challenge
Fountain – Project was 98% complete when client purchased a 9’ tall fountain & had it delivered. Being a piece that could not just be dropped in anywhere, we modified the rear patio and integrated it into the design.
Fond Memory
Client insisted on hosting my family to a fabulous homecooked feast. There was so muchfood that even after everyone was done eating you could hardly tell we touched it! Gracious hosts and great people!
Proudest Accomplishment
Being able to achieve complete confidence from client in both design and construction, ultimately producing a fantastic finished product.
