This professional couple designed and built their dream home on a hillside next to a creek. The home’s unique architecture was built with the living areas surrounding an elevated swimming pool 12 feet above grade. The property presented various challenges, including the necessity of protecting the creek from runoff and mitigating erosion challenges. In addition, the customer had recently sold their mountain getaway and wanted a landscape that combined Japanese influence with a mountain landscape. This was accomplished by incorporating multiple truckloads of boulders from the mountains and using evergreens sourced from the Pacific Northwest that would tolerate Raliegh’s hot summers.

This family relocated to a 50-acre property north of Chapel Hill and needed a total landscape renovation. We removed the existing landscaping and replaced it with mature trees and shrubs, Japanese Maples, Boxwood, Norway Spruce, and created a English garden that the client requested. By using specimen-quality mature sizes the landscaping better complemented the scale of the house and grounds.

David, we absolutely love the landscape makeover you did for our property. We’ve gone from having an overgrown yard that hid our home to beautiful plantings that complement our house design. Our neighbors love it, too.

The 18 foot hollies are amazing. They totally and instantly solved our view problem — rather than looking at a newly constructed commercial building, we now look out on lush green plantings.
